(c) 1976, Lyrics and Music by Steven Van Zandt
I know that it's getting late
But I don't want to go home
I am in no hurry baby time can wait
I don't want to go home
Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind if it takes all night long
Cause I don't want to go home
Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home?
Lord, look at how the people stare
Said, “I don't wanna go home”
In their mind I know they've all been there
I don't wanna go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh I don't wanna go home
But I know he's talking about the way I feel
And I don't wanna go home
Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't 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 it's time to go
But I don't want to go home
You can play the blues, play 'em soft and low
Cause I don't want to go home
Listen baby
I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky baby
What ever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home
I don't wanna go home
I don't wanna go home
I don’t wanna go home
Home
