If I Have to Go Lyrics

This song is so sad and reminds me of all the break ups and broken dreams in regards to relationships I've had over the years. (Meriem, Ruth, Jane...If your reading this,lol.)

This song was intended to be included as part of the album (Frank's Wild Years) and it's such a shame that Tom didn't include it as it would have illustrated a softer side to Frank and maybe had made him more human and endearing. It's also a bit of a return to Tom Waits' style from his early to late 70's period.
