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
