ALL THE WAY HOME

Live 07 Aug 1992 version



[Spoken intro:]
[Bruce Springsteen:] A special guest Southside Johnny gonna come and sing a song with us (cheers).
[Southside Johnny:] You know these people? Who are these people? I don't know, they look like relatives to me, Bruce.
[Bruce Springsteen:] ??? over here. Alright, here's a little tune I wrote for him, he hasn't thanked me enough for it yet but he'll get around I guess. ???.
[Southside Johnny:] It's a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Is that your ???.
[Bruce Springsteen:] You haven't even seen it yet.

Southside Johnny: I know what it's like to have failed baby
With the whole world looking on
And I know what it's like to have been so sure
And I wake up and find it all gone, yeah yeah

Bruce Springsteen: Now I know you've got no reason to trust me, no no
And tonight my confidence is a little rusty
But it's getting late if you don't feel like leaving alone
Won't you let me walk you baby all the way home

Southside Johnny: Our old fears and failures, whoa, they do linger
Bruce Springsteen: Like the shadow of that ring that was on your finger
Southside Johnny: Oh but those days darling, all those days they're dead and gone
Oh I could walk you baby all the way home

Southside and Springsteen: Now there's things no one can rearrange
We both have yesterdays oh that we can't change

Southside Johnny: Don't you know it's closing time baby
The bartenders ringing last call, last call baby
Bruce Springsteen: Tonight I can't stand on pride
And I ain't afraid to take a fall
Southside Johnny: But the time has come
And if your first choice ??? gone
Whoa that's alright baby
'Cause I can walk you all the way home
Southside and Springsteen: All the way home
I walk you all the way home
I walk you all the way home baby
I walk you all the way home baby
I walk you all the way home baby
I walk you all the way home
I walk you all the way home, whoaaa

[Spoken outro:]
[Southside Johnny:] Thanks for the song Bruce.
[Bruce Springsteen:] You don't really mean it, but it's nice to hear it anyway. Southside Johnny! Good luck! ??? anyway.
