When You Go Walking (After Midnight)

By:Roy McMillan · Source Recording: The Lonesome River Band (1996)

100%

When you go walkin' after midnight
Over on the wrong side of town
Walk down any street, many lost souls you'll meet
Whose lives are broken like mine

You'll find souls wanderin' out in darkness
Whose place in life they'll never find
Wanderin' so aimless and hopelessly
Whose lives are broken like mine

Thank God you've got a home to go to
And a woman's love to keep you warm
You won't find the stars in the honky-tonks and bars
Go home to your woman's lovin' arms
