I Didn't Come This Far (just To Walk Away) Lyrics - Aaron Tippin

I made five hundred miles in six hours flat 

Trying to make up for lost time 

I been beatin' a path to your mama's door 

To set things between us right 

Between the hands of fate and a lot of hard luck 

This ain't been no gravy train 

And I didn't come this far just to walk away 

I slung a rod just east of Memphis 

And that heap of a truck shut down 

So for nine cold hours I thumbed my way 

Straight to the guitar town 

And the last twelve miles to your mama's house 

I hiked through the pouring rain 

And I didn't come this far just to walk away 

I could have turned around a thousand times 

And went back to where I'm from 

I'd go an extra million miles 

If I could save what's left of us 

It was a burning love that drove me here 

And girl, I hope and pray 

That I didn't come this far just to walk away 

I know that this front door ain't the only thing 

That stands between you and me 

Things I've said and the wrong 

That I've done ain't undone easily 

But I'm gonna prove my love to you 

No matter what it takes 

'Cause I didn't come this far just to walk away 

Oh, I could have turned around a thousand times 

And went back to where I'm from 

But I'd go an extra million miles 

If I could save what's left of us 

Oh, it was a burning love that drove me here 

And girl, I hope and pray 

That I didn't come this far just to walk away 

Oh, I didn't come this far just to walk away
