G                                 Am
The love between the two of us was dying 
G                                  Am
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave 
G                       Em      Am                   D
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw 
G                     C          G
My little daughter running after me 
D7
Crying 
 
G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G            D           C                   D
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 
G                                           Am
Now, it broke my heart to tell my little daughter 
G                                      Am
That her daddy had to run to catch a train 
G                     Em         Am                  D
She had no way of knowin' I was leavin' home for good 
G                    C              G
I turned around and there she was again 
         D7
As she said to me 
 
G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G            D           C                   D
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 
G                                    Am
If only for the sake of my sweet daughter 
G                                              Am
I just had to turn back home right there and then 
G                          Em        Am                 D
And try to start a new life with the mother of my child 
G                     C               G
I couldn't bear to hear those words again 
            D7
She cried and said 
 
G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
(My daughter cried) 
C
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
G            D           C                   D
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast 
 
G            D           C                   D
Daddy, slow down some 'cause you're makin' me run 
G                D        G
Daddy, don't you walk so fast
