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.
