Walk Alone

Cody Jinks


I'm the man who's drunk and dirty
Living on the side of the street
Did my time back in Vietnam
But I never was set free
Didn't ask to go over there and
I didn't ask my wife to leave
When I got home, I had nothing left
But my memories

And I walk alone, nobody helping me
I walk alone, someday I'll be free
I'm just a victim of this circumstance
Somehow it chose me
So I walk alone

Single mom at seventeen
And daddy's nowhere to be found
Two jobs, one room home
She hurts as she looks around
At the other kids, who've got it all
What will her child say
When he can't do the things all the others do
She wipes her eyes and says

I walk alone, nobody helping me
I walk alone, someday I'll be free
I'm just a victim of this circumstance
Somehow it chose me
So I walk alone

Young man, never did any wrong
Walkin' round with you and me
Spreading love for the god in heaven
For one and all to see
Now he's hanging there up on that cross
Hears the blasphemy
And all he ever did in his walk on earth
Was reach for those in need

And he walked alone
On the hills of Calvary
And he walked alone
So we would not be
And he chose the
Victims of that circumstance
So he could set them free

And he walked alone
He walked alone
