I Was Just Walkin' Out the Door

Jimmy Dean · Portrait of Jimmy Dean [Columbia] [1962]

(Cindy Walker)



I was just walkin' out the door

It's too bad you didn't come before

I waited so long, so long, so long

I won't have to wait anymore.



How I cried for you day and night

Wanted letters that you didn't write

But now it's alright, alright, alright

You won't have to write anymore.



Not so long ago you will never know

What this day to me would have been

It's all over now but darling anyhow

It was so nice to see you again.



Well, it's almost a quarter of four

Sorry, I can't stay anymore

I must be on my way

You see it's my weddin' day.



And I was just walkin' out the door.

I was just walkin' out the door...
