Walking My Blues Away

I’ve been walkin’ down this long stretch of gravel,
Humming a tune, my feet are keeping the time
I’ve been walkin’ down the road less traveled
Traveling down the line

When I’m troubled by a bad situation
Everything’s wrong or the world is cloudy and gray
Things are better if I change my location
Walking my blues away

Chorus
No need to be in a hurry
Troubles dissolve when you take your time
Shake off your cares and your worries
Sooner than later you’re feeling just fine


You know that you can bet your bottom dollar
Where I’ll be if things aren’t going my way
You’ll find me in the hills and the hollers
Walking my blues away

It’s the rhythm of my footsteps fallin’
Keeping the time, and it seems to lighten my load
If I listen when the hills are a callin’
And set out down that old road

The more distance between me and trouble
The less chance that the blues will be hanging around
They’ll be leaving my mind on the double
Making a smile from a frown

Chorus

You know that you can bet your bottom dollar
Where I’ll be if things aren’t going my way
You’ll find me in the hills and the hollers
Walking my blues away
Walking my blues, wearing out my old shoes, walking my blues away
