Walking Away Lyrics

Can this hip hop kid
Make something priceless...timeless
Or will it all last a month

Can this guitar song
Make it worth it when you heard it
Or is it all just a front

Nineteen years on the road about to go under
Felt the breeze of the trees, the roar of your thunder
Been a long road wandering for cover
Now my cover’s blown, I’ll find my way back home

I’m walking away, I hear you call my name
I’m walking away (walking away), away from yesterday
I’m walking away (walking away), I cannot stay another day
Walking away from yesterday

Can this hip hop kid
Make something priceless...timeless
Or will it all last a month

Can this guitar song
Make it worth it when you heard it
Or is it all just a front

Nineteen years on the road about to go under
Felt the breeze of the trees, the roar of your thunder
Been a long road wandering for cover
Now my cover’s blown, I’ll find my way back home

I’m walking away, I hear you call my name
I’m walking away (walking away), away from yesterday
I’m walking away (walking away), I cannot stay another day
Walking away from yesterday

Nineteen years on the road about to go under
Felt the breeze of the trees, the roar of your thunder
Been a long road wandering for cover
Now my cover’s blown, I’ll find my way back home

I’m walking away, I hear you call my name
I’m walking away (walking away), away from yesterday
I’m walking away (walking away), I cannot stay another day
Walking away from yesterday

I’m walking away, I hear you call my name
I’m walking away (walking away), away from yesterday
I’m walking away (walking away), I cannot stay another day
Walking away from yesterday

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
