"Walk Away" lyrics

"Walk Away"

Dot King was whittled from the bone of Cain
With a little drop of poison in the red, red blood
She need a way to turn around the bend
She said, "I wanna walk away and start over again"

There are things I've done I can't erase
I wanna look in the mirror, see another face
I said, "Never," but I'm doing it again
I wanna walk away and start over again

No more rain
No more roses
On my way
Shake my thirst in a cool, cool pond

There's a winner in every place
There's a heart that's beating in every page
The beginning of it starts at the end
When it's time to walk away and start over again

Weather's murder at a hundred-and-three
William Ray shot Corabell Lee
A yellow dog knows when he has sinned
You wanna walk away and start over again

No more rain
No more roses
On my way
Shakin' my thirst in a cool, cool pond

Cooper told Molly the whole block's gone
They're dying for jewelry, money and clothes
I always get out of the trouble I'm in
I wanna walk away and start over again

I left my bible by the side of the road
Carved my initials in an old dead tree
I'm going away, but I'm gonna be back when
It's time to walk away and start over again

It's time to walk away, time to walk away
Time to walk away
Just wanna walk away
I wanna walk away and start over again
I wanna walk away
I wanna walk away
Wanna walk away
