Kept Walking

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Envelope on the table still unopened

Bills stacked tall behind the kitchen door

Work boots by the door I haven't worn since Friday

When the foreman said he didn't need me anymore

Bus left before the sunrise and I missed it

Phone in my hand afraid to make the call

Suitcase half-packed and the rent two months behind me

So I walked until the streets looked unfamiliar

Pre-Chorus

Felt the weight on both my shoulders

Heard my father's voice inside my head

Chorus

I kept walking when I had no map

I kept walking when the sky went black

Step by step through the cold and the concrete

Told myself the sun would find me back

I kept walking

Instrumental

Verse 2

New town don't know my name yet and that's alright

Took a job washing dishes after dark

Called my mama from the corner store on Friday

Told her I was fine but I could barely start

Auntie set a plate for me at the small table

We all ate and laughed about the storm

She said being lost ain't the same as being ruined

And I believed her just a little more

Pre-Chorus

Felt the weight start to lift a little

Saw a crack of light come through the trees

Chorus

I kept walking when I had no map

I kept walking when the sky went black

Step by step through the cold and the concrete

Told myself the sun would find me back

I kept walking

Bridge

Woke up this morning without a single fear

House so still the silence felt brand new

Put on an old shirt one that almost fit me

Looked out the window and the day was blue

No map was lying in my pocket

But my feet knew where they needed to be

Chorus

I kept walking when I had no map

I kept walking when the sky went black

Step by step through the cold and the concrete

Told myself the sun would find me back

I kept walking

Outro

I kept walking

(kept walking)

I kept walking

(kept walking)

No map

Just walking

Mm
