Don Williams – Walkin’ A Broken Heart Lyrics

Walkin’ down this midnight street
Just the sound of two lonely feet
Walkin’ a broken heart, walkin’ a broken heart
The empty city not a soul in sight
And a misty rain falls on a perfect night
To walk a broken heart, to walk a broken heart
I know if you’re thinkin’ this couldn’t happen to you
You’d be a fool for believin’
Dreams won’t fly away, sometimes they do
I know if you’re thinkin’ this couldn’t happen to you
You’d be a fool for believin’
Dreams won’t fly away, sometimes they do
So if you’ve been hurt and you’re feelin’ lost
Put your paperback, back and turn your TV off
And walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart
Walk your broken heart, walk your broken heart
Go, walk your broken heart…
