Kevin Deal - Walk Away

Em C Em G Em C G Em G

 Em                   C             
Let me tell you about my new home
Em                           G           Em          
Little slice of hell inside Texas state pen
 Em                          C  
Ain't no cable here I don't work out in the gym
  Em                   G           Em         
I know I'll never be a free man again
       
Work in these corn fields cause I'm guilty as hell      
Jesus will forgive me but the state never will
I've been on death row five years and a day
You'd do well to listen to what I have to say

 Em                     C                     
Learn to walk away boy learn to walk away
 Em                        G                    
Cause fightin with a woman you can never win
Em                            C                      
Better off to love 'em and learn to walk away
 Em                              G            Em       
Do something you'll regret and be where I am today


Things I saw my father do I swore I never would
Hot tempers run through your family just like a disease
Harsh words are spoken like a river they run
You can never take it back once the bullets left the gun

Chorus

Now there's people outside the wall with candles and signs
I guess they don't know this ain't the end of the line
Well the preacher man he's been here and the wardens on his way
I know the time has come for me to pay

  Em                   C
Cause I never learned how to walk away
  Em                      G          Em
You my young son each and everyday i Pray

Chorus
