Walking Home

[Chorus] I'm walking home tonight The streets are glowing beneath the pale moonlight I look around, there's not a soul in sight And I'm walking 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 walking home tonight [Verse 1] 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 walking home He's my Dad, you know I was his girl He taught me all he knew about this world And then he travelled right on out of sight And I'm just walking home tonight [Chorus] I'm walking home tonight The streets are glowing beneath the pale moonlight I look around, there's not a soul in sight And I'm walking 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 walking home tonight [Verse 2] 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 walking 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 walking home tonight [Chorus] I'm walking home tonight The streets are glowing beneath the pale moonlight I look around, there's not a soul in sight And I'm walking 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 walking home tonight
