Keep On Walkin (Christy Grimsley)

Song Description

Boy leaves girl and years later wants to come back. She's over him and moved on...and tells him so. Our ideas, thoughts and priorities change as we mature. What we once thought was a time of heartache or pain we now know was simply a stepping stone to reach where we are today. It's a song of leaving the past behind and using personal knowledge and experience.

Lyrics

Just Keep On Walkin
Christy Grimsley (Vocals), Jane Pietrantoni (Lyrics), Music by Frank Pietrantoni

You called me on the phone sayin' where has the time gone
Still believein' what we had would still be here not gone.
You left one night; went out of sight, but that was years ago
How could you think I'd still need you, did you think I wouldn't grow
Your girl next door grew up that night
(made a pact to make it right)
Got in the Car, with my guitar
(and drove away out of sight)
I found a life for writing songs, for someone else to see
You're my inspiration, my walking memory

So Just keep on walkin, life's been good without you
Just keep on walkin, Coz I've no time for you,

I drove so far and found the bar that let me play my songs
The boys went wild to see the child who could hold her own
Town after town I worked for pay, one guy followed me
In he'd walk, he talked the talk, but did the things he'd say
He walked me to my hotel room that night
He told me everything would be alright
Pleasured me in such a way
That made me feel brand new
And he's still here today
So why would I need you?

So just keep on walkin'. life's been good without you
Just keep on walkin, coz I've no time for you
Just keep on walkin, Your girl next doors all grown up now
Just keep on walkin, This woman don't need you

I don't need you
You only talked the talked until the day, she came along
Then you walked out on me, singing her sweet song

Just keep on walkin'. life's been good without you baby
Just keep on walkin, coz I've no time for you
Just keep on walkin, Your girl next door is grown up now
Just keep on walkin, This woman don't need you

-Chorus out-

Love the song. Sounds like Madonna, which I am a fan. So good.

Nice song

This writer really knows how to tell a story. It's crystal clear from beginning to end with a memorable hook. Sung with passion and purpose. Sensitive musical introduction. High marks for originality.
Love the melody. Flawless singing performance.

The song fits the Country Rock Genre well. The instrumentation, arrangement, production and vocals were all well suited to the song. The lyrics told a story and kept me wondering where they were going to take me next. It has an "Old Country" style to it, which was refreshing to listen to.

The melody is strong and creates some good word-painting. A mini story arc creates some cinematic parts.

Smooth easy going melody with a gorgeous arrangement...but here's where it really shines: those lyrics. Great original lyrical story that's very well written in a minstrel kind of way. "Just keep on walkin', life's been good without you" is the memorable glue and the chorus melody really works here.
