New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-Platinum-selling hitmaker
Sam Hunt releases new song "Walmart" today. Hunt and co-writers Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne maintain an undercurrent in "Walmart" that life has a way of working out, as Hunt transports the listener to a small town run in with an ex's mother. Hunt is introspective while looking back on open-ended questions of his past, now with the knowledge of life and years gone by.
"Walmart" serves as the latest from the five-time GRAMMY nominee, following his nostalgic "Start Nowhere" and his current Top 20-and-climbing radio hit "Water Under the Bridge."
"Walmart" Lyrics - written by Sam Hunt, Zach Crowell, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne:
We parted ways in the summer, told me goodbye through your tears
I used to run into you over Christmas, but I hadn't seen you in years
I used to think that I messed up, wonder if I should've stayed
I thought I'd always regret letting you go but all that regret went away
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
She had your eyes and your smile, she had your nose and your lips
Somewhere in our little small-town, small talk girl
Lost in the grocery aisle, holding a bag of some chips
I realize that everything happens for a reason
Losing your love ain't the end of the world
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
Your little girl, your little girl
She asked me how I was doing, I didn't know what to say
I kept replaying how you used to say that you wanted a family someday
Someday was just an illusion, when this town was all that we knew
You told me you'd never get over me, honestly, part of me hoped that was true
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
She had your eyes and your smile, she had your nose and your lips
Somewhere in our little small-town, small talk girl
Lost in the grocery aisle, holding a bag of some chips
I realize that everything happens for a reason
Losing your love ain't the end of the world
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
Your little girl, your little girl
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
She had your eyes and your smile, she had your nose and your lips
Somewhere in our little small-town, small talk girl
Lost in the grocery aisle, holding a bag of some chips
I realize that everything happens for a reason
Losing your love ain't the end of the world
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
Your little girl
I saw your mama at Walmart with your little girl
Your little girl, your little girl
