Walk Away

ItÂ?s Friday night and I have had Â?bout all that I can stand
Just wanna sit and drink my beer and listen to the band
A redneck boy in scootinÂ? boots starts getting in my face
Telling me an old man donÂ?t belong in this here place

Better just walk away
I donÂ?t want to hurt you
Better just walk away
You really donÂ?t deserve it
I know that youÂ?ve been drinkinÂ?
Best think twice what you are thinkinÂ?
Better just walk away, walk away

IÂ?m trying to ignore the boy and keep my temper down
And looking through his face I see his friends all standing Â?round
I said son I couldnÂ?t tell you what I did to make you jump
But if you donÂ?t turn around youÂ?re gonna start to piss me off

(Repeat Chorus)

Well I canÂ?t say IÂ?ve never let the liquor speak for me
In all my years of living itÂ?s come up a time or three
ThereÂ?s nothing worse than waking up hung-over, broke, and sore
Until they tell you itÂ?s an old man that put you on the floor

My patienceÂ?s has grown thinner than the hair upon my head
And that boyÂ?s just farming trouble with each dumb-ass thing he says
I give him all the chances that a man could ever give
But heÂ?s just aching for that lesson that you never do forget

(Repeat Chorus)

(Break)

(Repeat Bridge)

I grab him by the face and now he doesnÂ?t make a sound
And as we enjoy the quiet all his friends start leaving town
ThereÂ?s something strange about him Â?cause his eyes are big as plates
I say itÂ?s good to pay attention, you donÂ?t want to miss a thing

You shouldÂ?ve just walked away
I didnÂ?t want to hurt you
ShouldÂ?ve just walked away
But you really did deserve it
I know that youÂ?ve been drinkinÂ?
Let that whisky do your thinkinÂ?
ShouldÂ?ve just walked away, walked away

Next time that you go drinkinÂ?
DonÂ?tÂ? let whisky do your thinkinÂ?
Better just walk away, walk away
