[Verse] Well the word gets around when the dust starts to roll There's a man on the move with a chip on his soul Six-foot-two and a jaw made of stone Walter's coming to town and you'd best get on home He don't need a reason, just a sideways glance One wrong look and you're taking your chance Fists fly like lightning, chairs hit the floor Ain't a bar in the county that ain't heard that roar [Chorus] Walter's coming to town, better lock up the doors Walter's coming to town, clear the dance floor He's a walking disaster with a short fuse and pride Walter's coming to town—everybody hide [Verse] He'd fight for a nickel or a spilled drop of beer He'd fight if you breathed a little too near Mean as a rattlesnake, hard as the ground Till the night that sweet lady walked into his town She just smiled at him soft, didn't flinch, didn't run Said "You look like a man who's been fighting too long" He blinked like a mule that got hit by a truck And something inside him just up and gave up [Chorus] Walter's coming to town… wait a minute now Walter's coming to town… something's different somehow That bar-brawling devil with the fire in his eyes Walter's coming to town… and he's wearing a tie? [Verse] Overnight he turned gentle, near comical too Buying coffee for strangers, tipping double the due Helping little old ladies and tipping his hat Laughing at jokes that weren't even that Folks still whisper and point when he walks down the street But now it's half wonder and pure disbelief Like the Lord reached right down from the heaven above Said "That's enough, Walter… time you learned how to love" [Chorus] Walter's coming to town and the whole place lights up Walter's coming to town with a smile and a cup Of kindness he never once showed before Walter's coming to town… and we don't hide no more Yeah Walter's coming to town… We all Praised the lord.
