Had to leave in a hurry, couldn't wait to get away

It's not a case of being sorry, it's the price I have to pay

And confidentially I think it's sad but there's nothing I can do

If the road leads to the highway, well I'm hot and I've got to move

Ah-ha I've got to move

Got to change my arrangements, had the word I'm on my way

I couldn't stand it much longer, got the move, I'm on my way

I didn't mean to let you down but there's nothing I can do

If the road leads to the highway, well I'm hot and I've got to move

I'm hot and I've got to move

Talk of strain in relations, of the days of being confused

You told me never to worry, I'll never ask you to choose

Categorically I have to say it's as much as I can do

To sit around here waiting, when I'm hot and I've got to move

Oh, sometimes it's lonely oh but it's the only

Way I know and the road is leading me on

Ooh baby, I've got to move, yes

Oh, now baby baby, I've got to leave

And when I think back I smile and know that

Win or lose it's the road that's calling me on

Ooh, baby baby I've got to move, yes

Ooh, baby baby I've got to move, yeah

There's a man in a suitcase standing in a darkened room

Message light is burning, and the blinds are always drawn

It's been a while since the last time, never should come back to soon

Behind, the door is slamming, when he's hot he's got to move

When he's hot he's got to move

Yes, he's got to move

Yes, I've got to leave, yeah

Sometime, I've got to leave, yeah

That's right, yes, that's right, yes that's right

Ooh, yes, you know it's right, you know it's right,

You know it's right, you know it's right
