(S. Van Zandt)
Oh, I know that its getting late
But I dont want to go home
Im in no hurry baby time can wait
Cause I dont want to go home
Listen to the man sing his song
I dont want to go home
I dont mind if it takes all night long
Cause I dont want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I dont want to go home?
Lord, look at how all the people stare
Said I dont want to go home
In their minds I know theyve all been there
I dont want to go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I dont want to go home
I know hes talking bout the way I feel
And I dont want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I dont want to go home?
I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely?
I know that its time to go
But I dont want to go home
You can play play your blues, play em soft and low
Cause I dont want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I dont want to go home?
I dont want to go, believe me, darling
I dont want to go home
Dont wanna be all alone
I dont want to go home, baby
Aint nobody waitin at home
Baby, wont you please come home
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, wont you please come home?
