Springsteen, Bruce - 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
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*
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
[Guitar break]
[Sax break]
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
[guitar break]
[sax break]

Springsteen, Bruce Long Walk Home Comments
Good music =volume up!
An example of what is wrong for Bruce. Over-produced. Set this with nothing, such as Darkness, and you would have something.
BARRY was the problem...walk that shame...you saddled every donkey and wonder why you keep losing..
déjà 12 ans !
Se não gosta das músicas ñ entra pra dá dislak
The Boss! 💝
Prob the best vid ever x
start walking
Yay. Bruce
he never walked...he ran...but e will sell t shirts
This and Gypsy Biker are the two hidden gems off Magic
LindOOO ♥!! Ahaa meu namorado @springsteen, que saudades de você, meu amor ♥
Best song on the album.
Canzone intramontabile!! Video stupendo!!🌟🌟😇😍😍😘💔💓😅🎶🎸♥️💗💎💋

The Boss is the best!

Just no one like him.🎼💖🇦🇺💖🇺🇸💋💋💋🕺🏻💃🎸🎆
so many say had so many issues, da
After all these years..STILL THE BOSS
Walk off that checkerboard and come home 🏠
Can 'one man' carry the sins of humanity? Probably won't have a choice, n'est pas?
Long walk home with no money for transport all you see is cars passing by to scared for a lift. Long walk home in dark is scary lonely afraid
Love it. Great song. Moscow.Russia. 05.11.2019.

il boss e sempre e solo lui
Único 💎🎸🎤 AMOOOOOO 💘 Love 💘
No words, best and best
Grande Bruce springstee ótima música perfeita saudades desse tempo que não volta mais
It doesn't get any better than this.
I work in that diner, lol. And my boss is in the video too, sitting next to the window looking out. Bruce still comes in: he was there on Father's Day with his son..and was there the other day too.
What's he like in person? Warren Zevon said about him that in his experience Bruce is exactly how you'd expect him to be.
That it is....
I agree with you, everybody has a reason to begin again!
La magie opère, j'😍
Maravilloso un hombre increible amo su musica un genio 😚
Our republic is in danger. This great poet is talking about exactly what is wrong. The entire album, Magic, now over eleven years old, is about the problem. If you think that his politics are somehow irrelevant to you, you are part of the problem. For you to think that, you are OK with a list of things that the dad is saying to his son, in this song, that Americans just won't do. Please leave. Go to Russia. Go anywhere else. Get the fap out of our great republic. God Bless the United States of America. Power to the People!

The magic power of Springsteen's music is is that it consoles you and gives you strength in moments of indecision and loneliness. Thnak u Boss !!!

Last night I stood at your doorstep
Trying to figure out what went wrong
You slipped something into my palm and you were gone
It was 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
Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
I walked past Sal's grocery
Joe's barber shop on South Street
I looked into the faces
They were all rank strangers to me
Veteran's Hall up upon the hill
Stood dark and alone
Frankie's 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
My Pa said "Son, we're lucky,
This town is a beautiful place to be born.
It just wraps its arms around you,
Nobody crowds you, nobody goes it alone"
"You see that flag down at the courthouse?
It means certain things are set in stone.
Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't"
Well 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
Here everybody has a neighbor
Everybody has a friend
Everybody has a reason to begin again
[Harmonica bridge]
Now the water's rising 'round the corner
There's a fire burning out of control
There's a hurricane on Main Street
And I've got murder in my soul
Yeah well when the party's over
And the cheering is all gone
Will you know me, will I know you
Will I know you
'Cause 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
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
Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me
Gonna be a long walk home
Hey pretty darling, don't wait up for me
It's gonna be a long walk home
Hey now darling, it's gonna be a long walk home
Yeah it's gonna be a long walk home
Grande Bruce!👏👏🇧🇷
Is it true that Bruce was singing this song to Hillary on election night?
Your mo seems to be if I need something refusioh.
Tra le migliori canzoni recenti di Bruce grande attacco di batteria il produttore Brendan o Brian stavolta non riesce a rovinare il pezzo
j'adore que du bonheur de l'écouter
the greatest
I miss my brother , for you Andy , I came for you baby bro .. It’s a long walk home
I’ve had some serious drug and alcohol issues in the past. The last time I was in the hospital/rehab (2013) I was lucky enough to have a music therapy class. The teacher would bring in songs with the lyrics and ask what kind of connection we got from it. I stopped him after one of the classes and asked him if he knew this song...he didn’t...but told me he’d look into it and if the lyrics seemed to pertain to everybody’s situation, he’d bring it in. I IMMEDIATELY wrote out the song word for word and gave it to him. He laughed and asked how I got it down so fast...”I’m sort of a big Springsteen fan” (understatement of the fucking century). The next day he came in with it and I obviously had to explain why it meant so much to me. The song is about starting over, the “long walk” can be literal or figurative, but in my mind it meant the rest of my life until I was at peace again. Of course, the line “everybody has a reason to begin again”, speaks for itself. It was time for change and this song helped me every step of the way. It still does.
keep yourself out of drugs, you'll make it to get back "home" again!
I'm going through it now, yes I am a Native JERSEY BOY and grew up down the SHORE. His MUSIC and the INCREDIBLE man himself have been one of my BEST FRIENDS for my whole LIFE.
Been a BRUCE but since 1975...
I wish you nothing but HAPPINESS , JOY, FRIENDSHIP, and PEACE and LOVE...
God BLESS,
Tom

I've just listened again and with the video footage as well, it seems to be a metaphor for Bruce's depression and his poignant and lovely and manly message to Patti. And as always with Bruce, the journey back to America. Such a wonderfully honest and deeply clever songwriter..bring on the Nobel prize.
💕💕🇧🇷🇧🇷
Does anyone know if the diner at the beginning of the video is The Bendix Dinner in the median on Route 17 in Hasbrouck Heights N.J? It sure looks like it. I think the Bendix Diner was also on the tv show The Sopranos with Miami Steve.
Where oh where are the people that know everything?
NO ONE is like the THE BOSS !! directly,open hearted,no lies.Tribute to all Comrades to come home and be honored !!!
The Boss,no more words.A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!!
Awesome
My all time favourite song... This week. The other 99 out of 100 are also by Bruce. Like for so many this many, his band and music have had a profound effect on me
linda demais essa música!
❤️💞
Awesome song, a few years ago I had a coffee here with my GF we stayed in Freehold which is where I think the diner is, out of all the classic Springsteen songs this one hits me most, so proud your music came into my life . Im my own man but its been a great life with you and your music helping me along the way,your a cool guy Thanks Bruce :)
I wonder how Bruce feels about it now, with Trump in charge. Home is so far away that soon people won't even remember what it looked like.
Very nice Video
I also Love this man. I think He is the greatest performer since Elvis Presley!
