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 are shining bright
The bus is right on time
And I have to go
