Lyrics of I must be going home

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.
