"I'll Walk" is the title of a country music song written by Brent Wilson and Lonnie Fowler, and recorded by singer Bucky Covington. Released in April 2008, it is the third single released from his self-titled debut album, and the third consecutive Top 20 country chart entry of his career.

Content

The song is a mid-tempo ballad built around the phrase "I'll walk", which is used in three different contexts within the story. In the first verse, the male narrator has an argument with his girlfriend while driving home from the prom, causing her to leave the car and tell him "I'll walk" (i.e., that she will walk home instead of having him drive home). In the second verse, she is hit by a car, who could not see her while coming around a turn due her black dress. He then goes to the hospital to see her after having been told about the accident and her legs have been crippled. Standing at the hospital bed, the male is then told again by his girl that she will walk, even after discovering that "her legs still wouldn't move". The male explains in the bridge that he stood by her while she was injured. Finally in the third verse, the man and woman have reconciled and are about to get married. The woman, in a wheelchair, looks up to her father at the wedding, telling him that she will walk, instead of opting to be pushed down the aisle in her wheelchair.

Reception

The song has received mixed reviews. The song was labeled "thumbs down" and "a solid offering"cite web |url=http://www.the9513.com/album-review-bucky-covingtons-self-titled-debut |title=Bucky Covington review |last=Vercher |first=Brady |date=2007-04-17 |work=The 9513] on two different reviews from the same country music site The 9513. Reviewer Brady Vercher describes the song as a "tired formula with a happy ending", saying "it's been done before with better writing and a better delivery"cite web |url=http://www.the9513.com/bucky-covington-ill-walk |title=Bucky Covington - "I'll Walk" |last=Vercher |first=Brady |date=2008-04-21 |work=The 9513] which is in contradiction to Vercher's "solid offering" comment made regarding the same song a year earlier.
