Story: (47 seconds)
Walk Away, I truly must give credit to Kyle Level on this song because he came to me with this, uh, this beautiful musical piece, and this great melody for this song, Walk Away and when we were doing this song, it was one of those ones that, I truly probably would not have written a song like this, but Kyle pushed me, and when we finished it I felt it was such a beautiful song, and I went in and I produced it and I really got into the lyrics of it and it was a song then that we had made for the film, No Code of Conduct to end the movie; to give this uplifting tremendous ending to the movie and that's what Walk Away is about.
Song: (4:58)
It's been too long since I've seen her
She left one day without saying a word
Sick of broken promises
Empty dreams and endless lies
There was on old man sitting in a rockin' chair
Said "I knew just why she disappeared"
Said "boy to me, it's plain to see
Never gave that girl a reason to believe"
Well I wish she would call
Try to get ahold of me
But I know she got the message
That I left on my machine
That said I'd walk across the desert
I'd sail the seven seas
I'd fly around the world
Right here closer to me
I'd mend the bridges that I burned
Withstand the pouring rain
If you come back to me
I'd never let you walk away again
Some men learn and some men don't
Some try to and some they won't
My past is full of broken dreams
The road ahead is plain to see
Well I walked to places that we've been
I was hoping sthat maybe you'd stop in
Like some famous final scene
Fade to black, just be you and me
Well I wish she would call
Try to get ahold of me
But I know you got the message
That I left on my machine
That said I'd walk across the desert
I'd sail the seven seas
I'd fly around the world
Right here closer to me
I'd mend the bridges that I burned
Withstand the pouring rain
If you come back to me
I'd never let you walk away again
