The love between the two of us was dying And it got so bad I knew I had to leave But halfway down that highway When I turned around I saw My little daughter running after me Crying Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, slow down some 'Cause you're makin' me run Daddy, don't you walk so fast It broke my heart to tell my little daughter That her daddy had to run and catch a train She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good I turned around and there she was again Cryin' Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, slow down some 'Cause you're makin' me run Daddy, don't you walk so fast If only for the sake of my sweet daughter I just had to turn back home right there and then And try to start a new life With the mother of my child I couldn't bear to hear those words again And she said Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, slow down some 'Cause you're makin' me run Daddy, don't you walk so fast Won't you slow down some? 'Cause you're makin' me run Daddy, don't you walk so fast Daddy, don't you walk so fast
