Disclaimer: No Copyright Infringement Intended. Clay Walker - Where Do I Go From Loving You Lyrics: I gas up my truck and I drive into town But I spend all my time just running around Trying to shake this negative mood I'm in I've nowhere to go if I wanna get down All the usual suspects are hanging around But after a round or two it was just a another day again For a minute or two I'll get you off of my mind But you keep coming back to me every time Where do I go to get over the fact That you got on a plane and you ain't coming 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 trying to get lost in the usual ways Smiling and laughing and joking around with the guys Gotta do something to deaden the pain So I stare out the window just watching the rain But all I can see in the haze is the gray of your eyes So what do I do with all the pieces of you in me? If you're never coming back set me free Where do I go to get over the fact That you got on a plane and you ain't coming 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 coming 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?

Biography
Ernest Clayton Walker Jr. was born on August 19, 1969 in Beaumont, Texas to Ernest and Danna Walker. The oldest of five children, Walker lived in Vidor with his father, who gave him a guitar when he was nine years old.After graduating from Vidor High School in 1987, Walker began working at a Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company plant. An additional cut from the album, "White Palace," charted at #67 on the country charts without being released as a single. It peaked at #8 on Top Country Albums, #2 on Top Heatseekers and #52 on the Billboard 200. Larry Powell of Allmusic gave the album a four-and-a-half star rating, saying that Walker had a "high-energy" voice reminiscent of Conway Twitty. Walker also received two award nominations in 1994: Star of Tomorrow award from TNN/Music City News and Top New Male Vocalist from the Academy of Country Music.
1994–96: If I Could Make a Living and Hypnotize the Moon
If I Could Make a Living was the title of Walker's second album, released in 1994.) and 1995's "This Woman and This Man." This latter song spent two weeks at Number One, accounting for his first multi-week Number One hit. Walker also began touring in 1995 as a headlining act, in support of this album.Late in 1995, Walker released his third studio album, titled Hypnotize the Moon. Although none of its singles reached Number One, Hypnotize the Moon produced two consecutive #2 hits in "Who Needs You Baby" (which Walker co-wrote) and the title track, followed by the #5 "Only on Days That End in 'Y'" and #18 "Bury the Shovel." Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly thought that Walker did not show a distinct musical personality, but considered the song selection strong and gave it a "B+." Richard McVey II of Country Standard Time considered it a "throwback" in sound to Walker's debut, while USA Today said that it lacked the "verve" of that album.
1996–97: Rumor Has It
Having just completed the tracks for his fourth album in 1996, Walker was playing basketball with a friend, when he began to experience numbness, facial spasms, and double vision. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that he had multiple sclerosis (MS). Walker subsequently began changing his diet and treating the disease with a daily injection of Copaxone, sending his MS into an arrested state. He then released his fourth album, 1997's Rumor Has It, which he co-produced with Stroud. Thom Owens of Allmusic also thought that it was formulaic, but said that Walker was "able to make even mediocre material sound good," rating it three stars out of five.
1998–2000: Greatest Hits and Live, Laugh, Love
In April 1998, Walker charted with a live rendition of Earl Thomas Conley's 1983 single "Holding Her and Loving You." This rendition spent nine weeks on the charts and peaked at #68. Regarding its production and promotion, the label's senior director of marketing Connie Baer said that she wanted to raise Walker's profile as an artist, as both she and Johnson thought that he did not have the same level of recognition as other artists with similar album sales and chart success. After this song came the title track at #11 country and #65 pop.Erlewine gave the album three stars on Allmusic, where he wrote that it "never really distinguishes itself from its predecessors" but "has its moments." Brian Wahlert of Country Standard Time also thought that the album was inconsistent, saying that "She's Always Right," "The Chain of Love" and the Conley cover were its strongest tracks, but that the rest "treads no new ground." Deborah Evans Price of Billboard was more favorable, saying that it showed the energy of his live shows, and that he "cut loose" with soul singing on "This Time Love." These two tracks — a cover version of Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas" and the original song "Cowboy Christmas" — both made appearances on the country charts, reaching #51 and #70, respectively. Country Standard Time critic Mike Clark considered it a transition to a more country pop-oriented sound, describing the album as being "full of bad lyrics and overwrought production clichés."
In 2002, Walker wrote and recorded a song for the National Football League's newest expansion team at the time, the Houston Texans. Titled "Football Time in Houston," the song was used as the team's official fight song during its inaugural season. In an interview with CMT, he said that he donated the song to the city of Houston, and that he sings "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the team's opening game every season. Warner Bros. released a Christmas music album entitled Christmas in September of the same year. It included a cover of José Feliciano's "Feliz Navidad," which Walker took to #49 on the country charts in January 2003. This was the first single from his only RCA album, also titled A Few Questions. Its second single, the Chely Wright co-write "I Can't Sleep," Dan McIntosh gave a mostly-negative review for Country Standard Time, where he wrote that "even his passionate singing cannot rise above this album's predictable lyrics and lame arrangements."
2005–08: Fall
Walker was signed his third record deal in July 2005, this time with the Asylum-Curb division of Curb Records. His first single for the label, "'Fore She Was Mama," reached a peak of #21 in March 2007.Fo It was the second single release from Fall, going to #5 on the country charts and #55 on the Hot 100. Walker and Fender recorded this duet in early 2006; Fender died of lung cancer in October of the same year. The 9513 reviewer Brady Vercher rated it three stars out of five, praising Walker's vocal performance but saying that the song selection "seemed to be lacking in everything but fluff."
2009–present: She Won't Be Lonely Long
Walker's second album for Asylum-Curb was first announced in June 2009. Its first single, "She Won't Be Lonely Long," was given an official release date of December 2009, although it had already entered the country charts in late November. In advance of his ninth album, Walker released an extended play titled She Won't Be Lonely Long. The album, also titled She Won't Be Lonely Long, was released on June 8, 2010. It includes a cover of Alabama's 1980 single "Feels So Right" with a backing vocal from Alabama's lead singer, Randy Owen."She Won't Be Lonely Long" peaked at #4 on the country charts in mid-2010. The album's second single, "Where Do I Go from You", was released to radio on August 2, 2010.
Musical image and influences
In 1994, Bob Cannon of Entertainment Weekly wrote that Walker's image of a "Resistol hat, sturdy cowpoke face, and very tight jeans" seemed to be from a "Country Music Handbook for Success," but also said that he "ignores the danger of being dismissed as just another hunk in a hat." They also called his music "relatively tame" but said that "his Texas bar-room roots remain clearly visible in his voice and songs."Walker described his voice to CMT as "raspy [and] rugged." He cites George Jones (also a Beaumont native) as a primary influence, as well as James Taylor and Bob Seger; he has also said that, because he grew up in a largely African-American neighborhood, his singing style was influenced by rhythm and blues music. In addition, he said that after his diagnosis, he realized that "you need to love your family" and said that, because he considered his songs positive in nature, he felt that he could connect to younger listeners. They had two daughters: MaClay DaLayne, born on January 14, 1996, The couple divorced in 2003. He married model Jessica Craig on September 28, 2007 and had two more children with her: a son named William Clayton, born August 5, 2008 and a daughter named Mary Elizabeth, born December 27, 2009.
Walker has participated in several forms of charity to help raise awareness of MS, including his own non-profit charity, Band Against MS, which he founded in 2003. In 2008, he received a Humanitarian Award for his charitable efforts in relations to MS and participated in a charity golf tournament benefiting his organization.
