 Oh the last  bus has gone or maybe I'm wrong
 It just doesn't  exist
 And the words  that flew between me and you
 I must be crossed  off your list
 So I'm walking  the long  miles home, I  don't mind  losing you
 In fact  I feel better  each step  of the way
 In the dark  I rehearse  all the right  things to say
 I'll be home,  I'll be sober  by break  of day
Walking  the long  miles home
 Not a soul is around as I put more ground
 Between me and you
 And the whole town's asleep or maybe they're deep
 In the old "voulez vous"
 So I'm walking the long miles home and I don't mind losing you
 Got the moon there for company each step of the way
 And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away
 When you ride Shanks's Pony you don't have to pay
 Walking the long miles home
 Oh the party was grand but I hadn't quite planned
 On staying so long
 And while you accused me, the hours confused me
 And my friends had all gone
 So I'm walking the long miles home and I don't mind losing you
 Ah there's nobody out but the cop on the beat
 He's snoring so loud I don't hear my feet
 I just laugh to myself and move off down the street
 Walking the long miles home
 I'm walking the long miles home
 Oh walking the long miles home
