Gonna Walk Lyrics

Don't really know
How much longer I can stick around
'Cause my bags are collecting dust
And my ceiling's coming down
Kissed the gutter on Bourbon Street
Louisiana give me New Orleans
It's time to change the locks, oh baby
On my back door
I'm East Coast bound, I'm stuck in
Chinatown for the night
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm leaving
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm gone
Truck's loaded up and ready to go
The stagecoach is leaving town
My snakeskin boots are tough enough
For that dusty Texas ground
San Antonio, get ready for me
The Houston honeys are a luxury
It's time to change the locks, oh baby
On my back door
I'm East Coast bound, I'm stuck in
Chinatown for the night
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm leaving
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm gone
It's time to change the locks, oh baby
On my back door
I'm East Coast bound, I'm stuck in
Chinatown for the night
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm leaving
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm gone
It's time to change the locks, oh baby
On my back door
I'm East Coast bound, I'm stuck in
Chinatown for the night
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm leaving
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes I'm gone

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.
