Walkin' Home |
| I’m walkin' home tonight |
| The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight |
| I look around, there’s not a soul in sight |
| And I’m walkin' home |
| Once again I hear my mother’s voice |
| And all us kids making a bunch of noise |
| If I’m not careful I might start to cry |
| Just walkin' home tonight |
| I turn my head and hear the screen door slam |
| And there he is, that tall and dark-haired man |
| He looks my way but all alone he stands |
| And I am walkin' home |
| He’s my Dad, you know I was his girl |
| He taught me all he knew about this world |
| And then he traveled right on out of sight |
| And I’m just walkin' home tonight |
| I’m walkin' home tonight |
| The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight |
| I look around, there’s not a soul in sight |
| And I am walkin' home |
| Old worn-out couches and a bunch of kids |
| Four to a bedroom and all Mom’s plates were chipped |
| But I never knew about the things I missed |
| And I’m walkin' home |
| You see, it’s just the place where I come from |
| And, good or bad, it’s where the deal was done |
| Mom and Dad, their daughters and their sons |
| And I’m just walkin' home tonight |
| I’m walkin' home tonight |
| The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight |
| I look around, there’s not a soul in sight |
| And I’m walkin' home |
| Once again I hear my mother’s voice |
| And all us kids making a bunch of noise |
| If I’m not careful I might start to cry |
| Just walkin' home tonight |
