I Gotta Go

(albüm: Ready For Confetti - 2011)

Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, got no time to blow
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go
Born one morning 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
Waisting 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]

Five card stud duces wild, three kings in a row
I turned that diamond duce and smiled, I gotta go
They tracked my down, took my take, brother don't you know
I told 'em boys, there's some mistake, I gotta go

[Chorus]

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]
