Story Behind The Song

Here is a story of a woman who wanted to make a change in her life, and did. This what happened when her dream came true.

Lyrics

Walk On, Yvonne
(Words and Music by Michael W. Avery)

Yvonne is walking down the railroad track
She packed her bags and she's never coming back
She's leaving behind the life that used to be
To find a piece of heaven down by the sea

Walk on, Yvonne
Walk on, Yvonne
Until all those dull and dusty days are gone
All we need is a star to wish upon
And we could be in Myrtle Beach by Dawn

Yvonne found work before she could unpack
We got a one bedroom place and learned how to do the shag
The beach is jumping most every night of the week
Sweet Yvonne and I finally found our winning streak

Yvonne's ex, hillbilly Billy, tracked her down
And made some threats until Sheriff Hatfield came a round
Billy got too drunk and raised too much hell
Now Billy sits in the Horry County jail.

Walk on, Yvonne
Walk on, Yvonne
Until all those dull and dusty days are gone
All we need is a star to wish upon
And we could be in Myrtle Beach by Dawn
