I Didn t Come This Far (just To Walk Away) lyrics
I made five hundred miles in six hours flat
Trying to make up for lost time
I been beatin a path to your mama s door
To set things between us right

Between the hands of fate and a lot of hard luck
This ain t been no gravy train
And I didn t come this far just to walk away

I slung a rod just east of Memphis
And that heap of a truck shut down
So for nine cold hours I thumbed my way
Straight to the guitar town

And the last twelve miles to your mama s house
I hiked through the pouring rain
And I didn t come this far just to walk away

I could have turned around a thousand times
And went back to where I m from
I d go an extra million miles
If I could save what s left of us

It was a burning love that drove me here
And girl, I hope and pray
That I didn t come this far just to walk away

I know that this front door ain t the only thing
That stands between you and me
Things I ve said and the wrong
That I ve done ain t undone easily

But I m gonna prove my love to you
No matter what it takes
Cause I didn t come this far just to walk away

Oh, I could have turned around a thousand times
And went back to where I m from
But I d go an extra million miles
If I could save what s left of us

Oh, it was a burning love that drove me here
And girl, I hope and pray
That I didn t come this far just to walk away
Oh, I didn t come this far just to walk away
