Walking Away a Winner is the eighth studio album released by American country music artist Kathy Mattea. It was released in May 1994 (see 1994 in country music), eight months after her Christmas album Good News. Walking Away a Winner was the final album of her career to be certified gold by the RIAA. Its title track, which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in early 1994, was also her final Top Ten country hit. Following this single were "Nobody's Gonna Rain on Our Parade" at #13, "Maybe She's Human" at #34 and "Clown in Your Rodeo" at #20.
