I’ve been here for so long
that I’ve watched all the beauty fade
the novelty has gone away
a good thing feels bad

the grass turns into pavement
the park into a mall
graffiti’s on the wall
strangers never say hi

I used to be a kid in the candy store
lookin’ at the art
every guy walkin’ down the street
won my heart

so I know
baby it’s time to go
I’m packin’ all my things and I’m blowin’ this joint
baby I’m a travellin’ show
it’s time to go

I should be a beacon of youth
but I feel old and tired
where did I lose the fire
that spring in my step

innocent and wide-eyed
can we get that back
from off the beaten track
and halfway ‘round the world

I used to be a muse for the outlaws
takin’ every dare
I tried anything and everything
I didn’t care

so I know
that baby it’s time to go
a change in scenery never hurt anyone
baby I’ll be hittin’ the road
It’s time to go

so I know
that baby it’s time to go
the curtains are drawn and I’m takin’ a bow
baby it’s the end of the show
it’s time to go

keep it fresh
make it bite
get a new lease on life
don’t get stuck
keep it light
then we’ll feel
hey allright

and I know
that baby it’s time to go
the curtains are drawn and I’m takin’ a bow
baby it’s the end of the show

I’m packin’ all my things and I’m wavin’ goodbye
when you know
you just know
that it’s time to go
