Lyrics
Came into the honky tonk after work one Friday night. Said, "Bartender pour me a stiff one because nothing in my life ever works right." When i looked down at the end of the bar I saw this lady looking so fine Said" bartender I bet she`s never did hard time in her entire life. Than the bartender said-she`s never talked the talk . But she`s walked the walk. Like she done so many times before. When sheriff said his car went off the road sorry maam-he wont be coming home.She didn`t talk,but she walked the walk. Time went by she met a guy she thought was Mr.Right. They got married and settled down for what was supposed to be the rest of thier life. Two babies latter he just packed his bags and walked out on them one night.He didn`t even leave a note he justwalked out of thier lives. Than the bartender said She never talked the talk But she`s walked the walk.Like she done so many times before. She had to take care of those two little ones work two jobs and find a new home she didn`ttake the talk but she walked the walk. Then she met the man of her dreams together they did everything. They had a love that was so deep looking at them you could just see. They were so happy,and than came that call said she hurry to the hospital she got there just in time he smiled at her and than he died. Than the bartender said she`s never talked the talk. But she`s walked the walk.This time she fell to her knees. She got up all on her owen like she did every time before. She didn`t talk the talk but she walked the walk. Repeat
