She walked away from him
A few years ago
He thinks about her every now and then
And how she let him go
Yeah she walked away never to look back
Except for maybe one glance or two
From the only man they say to tame a heart like that
Until her heart caught wind and how those winds blew
An only child in a border town
Is what she knew as home
Her daddy beat her momma 'til she shot him down
Then what she knew was gone
And she walked away never to look back
Except for maybe one glance or two
She kept folks at bay but if one were to ask
How she was she'd just simply laugh at you
She started life out broken and learned that life was mean
And life never taught her much else
She'd all but lost the notion of what it means to dream
And thought a heart like hers would spend life by itself
You're a victim of happenstance
When things go all wrong
But when you're never given half a chance
It's hard to get along
So she walked away never to look back
Not for even one glance or two
She grew up a stray and went out as that
Just another case as to what life can do
Yeah she walked away never to look back
Not for even one glance or two
There ain't much to say now if one were to ask
There sure ain't much now that you could do
