Bruce Springsteen Long Walk Home Lyrics

Long Walk Home Lyrics

Last night I stood at your doorstep

Trying to figure out what went
wrong

You just slipped something into my palm and you were gone



I could smell the same deep green of summer

'Bove me the same
night sky was glowin'

In the distance I could see the town where I was
born



It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty darling,
don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk home

A long walk home



In town I pass Sal's grocery

Barber shop on South Street

I
looked in their faces*

They're all rank strangers to me*

Well
Veteran's Hall high upon the hill

Stood silent and alone

The diner
was shuttered and boarded

With a sign that just said "gone"



It's gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for
me

Gonna be a long walk home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for
me

Gonna be a long walk home

It's gonna be a long walk home

Here everybody has a
neighbor

Everybody has a friend

Everybody has a reason to begin
again



My father said "Son, we're lucky in this town,

It's a
beautiful place to be born.

It just wraps its arms around you,

Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone"



"Your flag flyin'
over the courthouse

Means certain things are set in stone.

Who we
are, what we'll do and what we won't"



It's gonna be a long walk
home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk
home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk
home

It's gonna be a long walk home

It's gonna be a long walk
home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk
home

Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk
home

It's gonna be a long walk home

It's gonna be a long walk
home
