I WALKED AWAY FROM THE WRECK
(Cindy Walker)

Loretta Lynn - 1961
Sonny Wright - 1969



 
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
And no one knew how I was hurt, because I lied
I walked away from the wreck, for it broke my heart
And I'm all torn up and broken inside

And when I see you with him/her, I still wanna scream
It's like a bad, bad dream that never seems to end
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
But I'll never, ever be the same again

(Instrumental Break)

I saw the danger ahead, but I paid no mind
For it seemed such harmless fun at the start
Too fast a crowd, too much wine, too much playin' round
Then came the crash and my world fell apart

And when I see you with him/her, I still wanna scream
It's like a bad, bad dream that never seems to end
I walked away from the wreck of our love affair
But I'll never, ever be the same again
