I Gotta Go
Robert Earl Keene
Capo 2
Ain t got time to shoot the breeze, Got no time to blow,
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go
Born one morninâ on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow
My momma kissed my cheek and said... I gotta go
Chorus:
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Wastin time standing here, I gotta go
They put me in an orphanage, West of Tupelo
I told em when I burnt that bridge, I gotta go
Stole a car, got a gun, Robbed the Hidey-Ho
I left Memphis on the run... I gotta go
Chorus:
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Wastin time standing here, I gotta go
Five card stud, deuces wild, Three kings in a row
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled, I gotta go
They tracked my down and took my take, brother don t you know
I told them boys there s some mistake, I gotta go
Chorus:
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Wastin time standing here, I gotta go
Cold Steel up against my head, they turned the lights down low
In case you didn t hear I said...I gotta go
These are your very last words sir, say em nice and slow,
My last words on this planet were...
Chorus x2
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Wastin time standing here, I gotta go
