Walkin' Home
Journey of Memories: Walkin' Home
Lyrics
I'm walkin' home tonight
I am currently walking home.
The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight
The streets are illuminated by the faint moonlight.
I look around, there's not a soul in sight
I observe my surroundings, finding no one nearby.
and I'm walkin' home
I am on my way home.
Once again I hear my mother's voice
I hear my mother's voice from the past.
and all us kids making a bunch of noise
Recalling childhood memories with siblings, being noisy.
If I'm not careful I might start to cry
I might become emotional and cry if I'm not careful.
Just walkin' home tonight
Continuing my walk home tonight.
I turn my head and hear the screen door slam
I turn and hear a door slamming.
and there he is, that tall and dark-haired man
A tall, dark-haired man is standing alone.
He looks my way but all alone he stands
He notices me but remains solitary.
and I am walkin' home
I am still walking home.
He's my Dad, you know I was his girl
The man is my father; I was his daughter.
He taught me all he knew about this world
He imparted his knowledge of the world to me.
and then he traveled right on out of sight
He disappeared from my sight through travels.
and I'm just walkin' home tonight
Continuing to walk home alone.
I'm walkin' home tonight
I resume walking home tonight.
The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight
The streets are still illuminated by the moonlight.
I look around, there's not a soul in sight
No one is in sight as I walk home.
and I am walkin' home
I am walking home.
Old worn-out couches and a bunch of kids
Describing the home environment with worn-out couches and many kids.
Four to a bedroom and all Mom's plates were chipped
Living conditions include crowded bedrooms and chipped plates.
but I never knew about the things I missed
I was unaware of what I missed in that environment.
and I'm walkin' home
Continuing my journey home.
You see, it's just the place where I come from
The place represents the origin, whether good or bad.
and, good or bad, it's where the deal was done
Decisions were made, and deals were sealed in this place.
Mom and Dad, their daughters and their sons
Family members, including Mom, Dad, daughters, and sons.
and I'm just walkin' home tonight
Walking home tonight, reflecting on family.
I'm walkin' home tonight
I am walking home tonight.
The streets are glowing 'neath the pale moonlight
The moonlight continues to glow on the streets.
I look around, there's not a soul in sight
No one is around as I walk home.
and I'm walkin' home
Continuing my journey on foot.
Once again I hear my mother's voice
I once again hear my mother's voice from the past.
and all us kids making a bunch of noise
Recalling childhood noise with siblings.
If I'm not careful I might start to cry
I may cry if I'm not careful, just walking home tonight.
Just walkin' home tonight
Resuming the walk home tonight.
