Diamond Rio - Walkin' Away Lyrics






Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue
Now matter what I do it leaves you all undone
Hey baby no need to go crazy over some little something I've said
Can't you see you're the keeper of my heart
Even when I lose my head

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout
Even hearts that are in this deep might think about an easy way out
One honest touch makes those worries just fade like stars at dawn
These occasional moments of weakness
Only makes our love more strong

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

It gets easier all the time
Oh and harder and harder to leave behind

We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away
Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

    There was a Chris stapelton on tv or the radio every other artist growing up in the 80s and 90s , the 70s was a great era and the soul era of the 50s , 60s but I don't feel like I missed nothing growing up in my era , great music

    Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue
    No matter what I do it leaves you all undone
    Hey baby no need to go crazy over some little something I've said
    Can't you see you're the keeper of my heart
    Even when I lose my head

    We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
    Even after all this time the slipper still fits
    Hey just look at how far we've come by choosing to stay
    Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

    Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout
    Even hearts that are in this deep might think about an easy way out
    One honest touch makes those worries just fade like stars at dawn
    These occasional moments of weakness
    Only makes our love more strong

    We've still got it good no matter how bad it gets
    Even after all this time the slipper still fits

    Baby don't go there love don't get nowhere walkin' away

  39. h.... H....

    love this song

  40. J.... N....

    Coming to our county fair this year no idea who they are but then start listening to songs they had and a light bulb goes off. You start to listen and that's when you realized they wrote that song

  41. L.... H....

    Nobody could harmonize like Diamond Rio!!!!!!!

  42. B.... M....

    these guys have made a good name for what country music is about.

  43. D.... D....

    Guillermo walking away it is heared to do,!THIS IS A TRUTH SONG

  44. J.... f....

    We had no idea how good we had it in the 90s as country music fans

    J.... f....

    Preach!

    J.... f....

    I agree man, I miss my childhood :(

    J.... f....

    Agreed.

    J.... f....

    We knew.

  45. G.... R....

    Seeing them play in Pitman, NJ next friday night!

  46. F.... h....

    my favorite DR song!! I remember being 17 in 1996 listening to it alot. I remember how my heart ached when they released "One More Day" !!! I knew they had turned pop and it was goodbye to the sound that made them who they were and why I loved them! Still to this day dislike "One More Day" very much.

  47. S.... N....

    Love it! This is so relatable for my spouse and I! Thank you! I think we've finally found our song!

  48. D.... 2....

    This is one of my all time favorite songs. It doesn't matter how old I get, this is on the top of the list.

    D.... 2....

    Dave 208 well I Miss Frances Turner have to agree I have played it all night and three times already since my eyes opened

  49. C.... &....

    This is my all-time favorite song ever. After 42 years the slipper still fits <3

  50. C.... H....

    My fav country song ever :)

    C.... H....

    Chloe Hall ......hell no, so many great songs.... Seminole wind, Rhett Aikens , Brooks n Dunn and on and on

  51. A.... W....

    80s & 90s country was the best!

    A.... W....

    Amanda Williams I think 50’s and 60’s was the best

    A.... W....

    Agree but also mid-late 70’s too

  52. D.... M....

    these guys blew ALABAMA away back in the day......and their music holds up much better ( in my humble opinion ) Yet they never got the recognition Bama did......

    D.... M....

    Looking at one of my Joel Whitburn 'Top Country Singles' book editions, I guess I can say that my very favorites from Diamond Rio would be "Meet In The Middle," "Mirror Mirror," "Mama Don't Forget To Pray For Me" (those were their first three hits), "In A Week Or Two," "Oh Me, Oh my, Sweet Baby," "That's What I Get For Lovin' You," "One More Day," and "Beautiful Mess."  I probably like others also.  I just do not know them offhand or by title.  Good stuff..

    D.... M....

    Yeah I do tend to focus on bands more but that's because there were no bands with that style of music until Alabama. I really liked Ronnie Milsap, Sammy Kershaw, Hank Jr and a couple more. I almost done a backwards flip when The Oakridge Boys came out with "Elvira". I can listen to some of the old sad country songs from time to time, but it gets old to me really quick. But that's just me. My high school girlfriend (who is now my wife) never listened to country until I introduced her to Alabama. I play the Guitar and the first song I learned to play on it was "My Home's in Alabama".

    D.... M....

    Diamond Rio is great yeah but Alabama blew them away idk how you can say otherwise.

    D.... M....

    Dennis Mackey I absolutely agree diamond rio was twice the band Alabama was

    D.... M....

    Diamond Rio and Restless Heart

  53. M.... ....

    Country music is still great, but they are dressing city all the way..

    M.... ....

    This sound is unbeatable

  54. T.... S....

    love the hair

    T.... S....

    Hell yeah! :-)

  55. T.... ....

    Absolutely fantastic, where was I in the 90s. We need more bands like this

  56. J.... H....

    I love diamond rio!

  57. J.... S....

    We need bands like this instead of what we got in country music

    J.... S....

    Jacob Stevens .......country sucks now

  58. C.... P....

    GOOD SONG  DIAMOND RIO

  59. T.... R....

    Diamond Rio a great band that was so successful in the 90's and into I believe the early part of the 2000's. I miss their unique sound.

    T.... R....

    Check out their last CD called I Made It. Really good material

  60. s.... h....

    Great song!

  61. M.... ....

    Not only still remember the words, still remember every moment of the video! QUALITY country!!

    M.... ....

    MargoMB19 haven't heard it in years & still remember all the words

  62. w.... ....

    Love this song! Many fond memories to this song.

    w.... ....

    You & Me both!

    w.... ....

    Same here! It takes me back to my elementary school years. Such great, innocent times. :) Loved this song back then, too!

  63. L.... M....

    Diamond Rio was in my opinion the best country group from the 90's

  64. L.... C....

    Couldn't have said that better myself. This is real country music.

  65. j.... ....

    was a shame jimmy o's country axe pickin' style never got deserved credit

  66. t.... ....

    reicher89, please tell you are a girl. If not, you need to turn in your man card now.

  67. B.... B....

    Why won't some of the other videos play from this Youtube channel? It says they are not available in this country. That makes no sense that some can play and some can't.

  68. N.... ....

    One of the best songs by one of the best country bands I've ever heard.
