Lyrics

He was crazy when she met him, a spirit running free
Reckless and abandoned, he was wild but so was she
To race along the edge was a scene they both preferred
Her daddy said, “That boy is no damn good”
She never listened to a single word

She Just Walked Away; she Just Walked Away
High above and deep in love with nothing more to say
She Just Walked Away; she Just Walked Away
Tears filled up her daddy’s eyes that day, she Just Walked Away

Weeks and months turned into years; many passed them by
She started thinkin’ about a family; I guess, he got on for the ride
He never seemed determined to do what a father should
She thought somehow he’d change, it was clear he never would

She tried to talk about it and bring it to the light
Her words were always wasted as he’d turn to face the night

He Just Walked Away; he Just Walked Away
He had his own agenda and hers was in his way
He Just Walked Away; he Just Walked Away
So many times so much was left to say, but he Just Walked Away

One day he made a promise, one he couldn’t keep
His words were often shallow, her loneliness was deep
She hinted of another life, one she might prefer
After years of screams and broken dreams, she left without a word

She Just Walked Away; she Just Walked Away
High above a faded love with nothing more to say
She Just Walked Away; she Just Walked Away
No tears were shed, love was dead the day, she Just Walked Away
