I Didn't Come This Far (Just to Walk Away)

That I've done ain't undone easily
And went back to where I'm from
It was a burning love that drove me here
So for nine cold hours I thumbed my way
I'd go an extra million miles
But I'd go an extra million miles
And girl, I hope and pray
But I'm gonna prove my love to you
I been beatin' a path to your mama's door

I could have turned around a thousand times
'Cause I didn't come this far just to walk away
Between the hands of fate and a lot of hard luck

This ain't been no gravy train
To set things between us right
If I could save what's left of us
Oh, I could have turned around a thousand times
Things I've said and the wrong
And that heap of a truck shut down

I hiked through the pouring rain
If I could save what's left of us
That I didn't come this far just to walk away
No matter what it takes
And went back to where I'm from
And I didn't come this far just to walk away
And girl, I hope and pray

That I didn't come this far just to walk away
Straight to the guitar town
I know that this front door ain't the only thing

Oh, it was a burning love that drove me here
I slung a rod just east of Memphis
And the last twelve miles to your mama's house
That stands between you and me

And I didn't come this far just to walk away
