I Don't Want to Go Home Lyrics
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 baby to stay alnight 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
Look at all the people staying
Saying I don't want to go home
In the night
I don't want to go home
I know the words to the song I feel
I don't want to go home
I know it's talking about the way I feel
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 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 it's time to go
But I don't want to go home
You don't play the blues 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
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 baby to stay alnight long
Cause I don't want to go home
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
Saying I don't want to go home
In the night
I don't want to go home
I know the words to the song I feel
I don't want to go home
I know it's talking about the way I feel
I don't want to go home
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
And having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely
But I don't want to go home
You don't play the blues soft and low
Cause I don't want to go home
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

More Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
How Come You Treat Me So Bad
Fannie Mae
I Choose to Sing the Blues
Light Don't Shine
Got to Get You off My Mind
This is still my favorite Southside Johnny song (written by Steven Van Zandt of The Sopranos and Springsteen's band).
Even though it sounds like a good-time, bar-band song -- and it's that too -- the lyrics tell a deeper story of a man who can't leave the warmth of live music because his lover recently left him and he doesn't know why.
<i>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>
Blue-eyed soul doesn't get better than this. A forgotten classic.
