The Day I Walked Away
Album: Taking Stock
Heading south in the dead of night
Watching headlights fade behind
Tennessee disappearing slowly
In my rearview and my mind
Part of me needed answers
Part of me wanted to fight
But another part kept saying
Just keep driving through the night
The interstate said I-75
But I was doing eighty-five
Trying to put a little distance
Between the past and the rest of my life
God works in mysterious ways
Thought my whole world ended
The day I walked away
Yeah, I thought I’d never be the same
But somewhere down that highway
Blinded by the view
God knew what He was doing
When He opened up the door and led me to you
All I had was a suitcase
A head full of doubts
Miles of asphalt in front of me
Trying to figure life out
I should've known forever
Ain't something you can force
Some roads are meant to end
So you can find a different course
Funny how a broken heart
Can help a man finally see
If I'd never left that old life
I never would've found you and me
God works in mysterious ways
Thought my whole world ended
The day I walked away
Yeah, I thought I’d never be the same
But somewhere down that highway
Blinded by the view
God knew what He was doing
When He opened up the door and led me to you
By the time I crossed that Florida line
The sun was breaking through
And for the first time in a long time
The sky was perfectly blue
I didn't know what waited for me
Or where I'd finally land
I just knew I had to leave
And trust in God’s plan
God works in mysterious ways
Thought my whole world ended
The day I walked away
Yeah, I thought I’d never be the same
But somewhere down that highway
Blinded by the view
God knew what He was doing
When He opened up the door and led me to you
Some doors are meant to close forever
And that's how it's meant to be
God works in mysterious ways
When He opened up the door and led me home to you
