VERSE 1
Last night I stood at your doorstep
Tryin' to figure out what went wrong
You just slipped something into my palm then you
were gone
I could smell the same deep green of Summer
Above me the same night sky was glowing
In the distance I could see the town where I was
CHORUS
It's gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling dont't wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
A long walk home
VERSE 2
In town I passed Sal's grocery
The barbershop on South Street
I looked in their faces
They were all rank strangers to me
The veteran's hall high upon the hill
Stood silent and alone
The diner was shuttered and boarded
With a sign that just said gone
CHORUS
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
VERSE 3
Here everybody has a neighbour
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason to begin again
VERSE 4
My father said, "Son you're lucky in this town
Such a beautiful place to be born
It just wraps its arms around you
Nobody crowds you and nobody goes alone
You know that flag flying over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone
Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't
CHORUS
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
