Last night I stood at your doorstep
Trying to figure out what went wrong

You just slipped somethin' into my palm

Then you were gone

I could smell the same deep green of summer
Above me the same night sky was glowin'

In the distance I could see the town where I was born

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me

Gonna be a long walk home

A long walk home

In town I passed Sal's grocery
The barbershop on South Street
Em7
I looked into their faces
G D
They were all rank strangers to me
G
The veterans' hall high up on the hill
Stood silent and alone
Em7
The diner was shuttered and boarded

With a sign that just said "gone"

Hey pretty Darling, don't wait up for me

It's a beautiful place to be born

That you know flag flying over the courthouse
Means certain things are set in stone

Who we are, what we'll do and what we won't."
