Walkin Kinda Slow

(john swayne)




I think she's on the front porch, watchin' as I leave
I'd like to turn and look, but pride's not lettin' me
This mornin' after our big fight, I packed, said I was gone
Out the door, she followed me then stopped as I moved on

I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Holdin' back the steps, stallin' for time
I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Hopin' she will try 'n' change my mind

The wind is slappin' 'cross my face, it wants me to turn 'round
The bag pulls at my hand, it wants to be put down
I can feel her eyes behind me, I wonder if they're dry
If only she would call to me, she'd see the tears in mine

I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Holdin' back the steps, stallin' for time
I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Hopin' she will try 'n' change my mind

In a minute she will start to cry, then call me back inside
Maybe if I stop to tie my shoes...

I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Holdin' back the steps, stallin' for time
I said I'd go, so here I go, but I'm walkin' kinda slow
Hopin' she will try 'n' change my mind

Hopin' she will try 'n' change my mind
