And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade on my way
Walk away, I'll be a parade
Old Mr. Fletcher passed by here today
(Walk away)
And I'll be determined that no one shall dissuade on my way
He passed by again and he was shivering from cold
Walk away, I'll be a parade
(Walk away)
Now there comes a time for a man to walk away"
Walk away, I'll be a parade
I'll sure take my sweet time and burn all the bridges that I'm leavin' behind
I'm not sure but I think that he was trying
I'll take my sweet time and burn all the bridges that I'm leavin' behind
He told me about the weather and something old to pay
After forty years of toil he just up and walked away
(Walk away)
Fantastic the panic that shown in his eyes
He shrugged when I asked him about it
He said, "Young man pay heed, you listen well to what I say
But tomorrow, he said "I'm gonna surely walk away"
