WHEN YOU WALKED AWAY

[Verse 1]

There's a picture on the dashboard
From a summer long ago
Your blue eyes in the sunlight
And your hair in the wind that blows

There's an old song on the radio
That takes me back to you
And every mile down this highway
Feels like a road I can't get through

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been drinking black coffee
Watching stars fade into gray
Trying to find the man I was
Before you walked away

[Chorus]

When you walked away, you took my heart
Left me standing in the dark
Now these lonely Texas highways
Are tearing me apart

There's a whiskey on the table
And your memory in the rain
Girl, I'd give this whole world up
Just to hold you once again

When you walked away
You took my sunshine away

[Verse 2]

My old boots are by the doorway
Your perfume's on my coat
There's a letter in my pocket
With a thousand words I never wrote

The moon is hanging over Memphis
And the night is cold and long
I keep searching for your shadow
In every place we called our own

[Pre-Chorus]

I've been talking to the angels
Asking them to make you stay
But the wind keeps whispering softly
That you're miles and miles away

[Chorus]

When you walked away, you took my heart
Left me standing in the dark
Now these lonely Texas highways
Are tearing me apart

There's a whiskey on the table
And your memory in the rain
Girl, I'd give this whole world up
Just to hold you once again

When you walked away
You took my sunshine away

[Bridge]

Maybe someday you'll remember
The promises we made
Two hearts beneath the Georgia pines
Before our love began to fade

And if you ever miss me, darling
If your heart feels this same pain
I'll be waiting by the old oak tree
When the sun comes up again

[Final Chorus]

When you walked away, you took my heart
Left a broken man in the dark
But I'll keep driving down this highway
With your picture in my heart

There's a prayer beside my pillow
And your name inside my veins
Girl, I'd trade a thousand sunsets
Just to see your face again

When you walked away
You took my sunshine away

[Outro]

Yeah, I'm still driving through the night
Still hoping you'll come back someday
With a broken heart and a little faith
Since you walked away...
