Lyrics:

The love between the two of us was dying

And it got so bad I knew I had to leave

But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw

My little daughter running after me

Crying



Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

Daddy, don't you walk so fast



Now, it broke my heart to tell my little daughter

That her daddy had to run to catch a train

She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good

I turned around and there she was again

As she said to me



Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

Daddy, don't you walk so fast



If only for the sake of my sweet daughter

I just had to turn back home right there and then

And try to start a new life with the mother of my child

I couldn't bear to hear those words again

She cried and said



Daddy, don't you walk so fast

(My daughter cried)

Daddy, don't you walk so fast

Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

Daddy, don't you walk so fast



Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run

Oh, daddy, don't you walk so fast
