I Have to Go

Let's go back in time

To when you were lying by my side

There in that dingy hotel room

Smelling of smoke and cheap perfume

Where you would go out for a cigar

While I was there tuning my guitar

And you'd come see me as I play

Later we'd drink the night away

For all the places I have been

And all the people I have seen

Only with you it felt like home

Like I was not here all alone

But still the lights were shining bright

The bus was right on time

And I had to go

That was long ago

Sometimes when the things are moving slow

I wonder if you still think of me

Of where I am and how I've been

Am I in England or Japan

Am I being good or being bad

I could be boarding on a plane

I could be wasting life away

For all the places I have been

And all the people I have seen

Only with you it felt like home

Like I was not here all alone

But still the lights were shining bright

The bus was right on time

And I had to go
