(S. Van Zandt) 



Oh, I know that it's getting late

But I don't want to go home

I'm in no hurry baby time can wait

‘Cause 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 

Whatever happened to you and I 

That I don't want to go home? 



Lord, look at how all the people stare

Said I don't want to go home

In their minds I know they've all been there

I don't want to go home 



I know the words to this song are real

But, oh, I don't want to go home

I know he's talking ‘bout the way I feel

And I don't 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 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 play your 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 

Whatever happened to you and I

That I don't want to go home? 



I don't want to go, believe me, darling 

I don't want to go home 

Don't wanna be all alone 

I don't want to go home, baby 



Ain't nobody waitin' at home 

Baby, won't you please come home 

Baby, baby, baby 

Baby, baby, baby 

Baby, baby, baby 

Baby, won't you please come home?
