Clay Walker (born August 19, 1969) was born and raised on a farm in Beaumont, TX, the hometown of George Jones. Walker fell in love with country music at an early age, when his father gave him a guitar when he was only nine years old. After he graduated from high school, Walker pursued a musical career full-time, playing concerts across the South, the Midwest, and Canada. For over three years, he toured and went to school, taking courses about the music business. During this time, he acted as his own manager. Eventually, he became the house singer at the Neon Armadillo bar in Beaumont. While performing at the club, producer James Stroud heard Walker and offered to work with the singer. Stroud helped Walker secure a contract with Giant Records, and the pair began working on the vocalist's debut album.
"What's It to You" became a number one hit upon its release in August of 1993, with "Live Until I Die" following it into the pole position later that same year. Both singles were featured on his debut album, Clay Walker, which was released in the fall of 1993. "Where Do I Fit in the Picture," the third single from the album, became a number 11 hit in early 1994. "White Palace" was a flop, failing to crack the Top 40, but "Dreaming With My Eyes Open" became his third number one hit in the summer of 1994, helping make his debut record a platinum album. If I Could Make a Living was not quite as successful as his debut, yet it still yielded the number one title track. Hypnotize the Moon, Walker's third album, appeared in the fall of 1995, preceded by the number two single "Who Needs You Baby." He followed with Self Portrait in 1996 and Rumor Has It in 1997. A Greatest Hits collection appeared in 1998 and a new album, Live, Laugh, Love, was released in 1999. Say No More followed two years later.
Where Do I Go From You
Clay Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I spend all my time just ridin' around
Tryin' to shake this negative mood I'm in
I know where to go if I want to get down
All the usual suspects are hangin' around
But after a round or two, it's just another dead end
But you keep comin' back to me every time
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on a plane and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
I bury myself in my job all day
Just tryin' to get lost in the usual ways
Smilin' and laughin' and jokin' around with the guys
Gotta do something to deaden the pain
So I stare at the window just watchin' the rain
But all I can see in the haze is the grey of your eyes
So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me
If you're never comin' back, set me free
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on plane, and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said, and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
Where do I go from you
Where do I go to get over the fact
That you got on a plane, and you ain't comin' back
I said what I said, and you did what you had to do
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where do I go from you
Where do I go from you
Where Do I Go From You by Clay Walker is a song about the aftermath of a breakup and the search for closure. The singer is struggling to move on from his former lover and is looking for ways to ease the pain. He tries to distract himself by driving around town and hanging out with friends, but nothing seems to work. He can't stop thinking about his ex-partner and is haunted by memories of their time together.
The song is an exploration of the emotional landscape that people go through after a breakup. It is a poignant reminder that even when things don't work out, the pain doesn't simply disappear. The singer's experiences are relatable, and the lyrics speak to the universal human experience of heartbreak.
The chorus of the song asks, "Where do I go to get over the fact / that you got on a plane, and you ain't coming back". This line represents the central theme of the song, which is the search for a way to move on. The song doesn't offer an answer to this question, but instead, it leaves the listener with a sense of empathy for the singer's feelings.
Line by Line Meaning
I gas up my truck and I drive into town
I try to distract myself by driving around aimlessly
But I spend all my time just ridin' around
However, I can't seem to escape my negative emotions
Tryin' to shake this negative mood I'm in
I am struggling to overcome my feelings of sadness and despair
I know where to go if I want to get down
I have a few options to go out and have fun
All the usual suspects are hangin' around
My usual group of friends are nearby
But after a round or two, it's just another dead end
However, even that distraction doesn't last for long and I end up feeling the same way
For a minute or two, I'll get you off my mind
Occasionally, I am able to briefly forget about you
But you keep comin' back to me every time
But my thoughts always return to you
Where do I go to get over the fact
Where can I find a way to move on from the reality
That you got on a plane and you ain't comin' back
That you left me and won't be returning
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
I accept that we both made choices that led us to this point
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where can I find solace from the harsh truth of our situation
Where do I go from you
Where can I go from here without you
I bury myself in my job all day
I try to keep myself busy by focusing on work
Just tryin' to get lost in the usual ways
I attempt to distract myself in the usual manner
Smilin' and laughin' and jokin' around with the guys
I pretend to be happy and carefree around my friends
Gotta do something to deaden the pain
I need to find a way to numb my emotional pain
So I stare at the window just watchin' the rain
I find myself lost in thought and staring out the window
But all I can see in the haze is the grey of your eyes
Despite trying to distract myself, I can't stop thinking about you
So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me
How can I move on when I am still so invested in you emotionally
If you're never comin' back, set me free
If you are truly gone for good, I need to be able to let go and move on
Where do I go from you
Where can I find a path forward without you
Where do I go from you
Where can I go from here without you
Where do I go to get over the fact
Where can I find a way to move on from the reality
That you got on a plane, and you ain't comin' back
That you left me and won't be returning
I said what I said, and you did what you had to do
I accept that we both made choices that led us to this point
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth
Where can I find solace from the harsh truth of our situation
Where do I go from you
Where can I go from here without you

CLAY WALKER (2010) – WHERE DO I GO FROM YOU(Traducción)
I gas up my truck and I drive into town
Lleno el depósito de mi camioneta y conduzco hasta la ciudad
But I spend all my time just running around
Pero paso todo el tiempo dando vueltas
Trying to shake this negative mood I'm in
Tratando de sacudirme este negativo estado de ánimo en que estoy inmerso
I've nowhere to go if I wanna get down
No hay ningún lugar al que ir si quiero apearme
All the usual suspects are hanging around
Todos los sospechosos habituales andan por ahí
But after a round or two, it was just a another day again
Pero después de una ronda o dos, sólo fue un día más de nuevo
For a minute or two I'll get you off of my mind
Durante un minuto o dos te sacaré de mi cabeza
But you keep coming back to me every time
Pero siempre sigues volviendo a mí
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
I bury myself in my job all day
Me sumerjo en mi trabajo todo el día
Just trying to get lost in the usual ways
Sólo tratando de perderme en las costumbres habituales
Smiling and laughing and joking around with the guys
Sonriendo y riendo y bromeando con los chicos
Gotta do something to deaden the pain
Tengo que hacer algo para mitigar el dolor
So I stare out the window just watching the rain
Así que clavo la mirada en la ventana sencillamente viendo la lluvia
But all I can see in the haze is the gray of your eyes
Pero todo lo que puedo ver en la bruma es el gris de tus ojos
So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me?
¿Entonces qué hago con todos los pedazos tuyos que están en mí?
If you're never coming back, set me free
Si nunca vas a regresar, libérame
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you? Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti? ¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
Where do I go to get over the fact
¿Dónde voy para superar el hecho
That you got on a plane and you ain't coming back?
De que te subiste a un avión y no vas a regresar?
I said what I said and you did what you had to do
Dije lo que dije y tú hiciste lo que tenías que hacer
Where does a man have to go to get over the truth?
¿Dónde tiene que ir un hombre para superar la verdad?
Where do I go from you? Where do I go from you?
¿Dónde me alejo de ti? ¿Dónde me alejo de ti?
