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
