I Gotta Go Lyrics

Ain't got time to shoot the breeze
Got not time to blow
'Scuse me mister, if you please
I gotta go
Born one morn on the day of the dead
In a bombed-out bungalow
My momma kissed my cheek and said
I gotta go

I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' 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

I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' 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 me down,
took my tail
Brother, don'tcha know?
I told 'em boys, there's some mistake
I gotta go

I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' 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 'n slow
My last words on this planet were..

I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' here
I gotta go

I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' here
I gotta go
