I Must Be Going Home lyrics

I Must Be Going Home
by Bill Staines
All the city lights, they burn outside our window
With the fleeing of an autumn afternoon;
I ll shed a tear if I look down upon our river
Feeling close and knowing I ll be going soon.
     I grew lonesome on the road
     Until I met you here that night
     We talked and drank some wine
     And I was blinded in your light,
     But there s a lady in Montana
     And I love her, so I must be going home
I should have kept on going when I had the mind to;
I should have left you here so many times before.
Now your eyes reflect a face that s quite unknowing
If this pain inside is worth the open door.
   But the highway s ringing clear,
   And the morning sun is low
   Blue November winds are blowing,
   I must leave before the snow
   Cause there s a lady in Montana
   And I love her, so I must be going home.
There were many times I wanted to forget her
In the early morning hours here with you,
But my heart, it lies among the Rocky Mountains
With a lady there who s always been so true.
   I could hold you here forever,
   I could try and find a way
   We could spend our time together,
   But it s morning, and I pray
   That there s a lady in Montana
   And I love her, so I must be going home.
