I Gotta Go

Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, Got no time to blow, Excuse 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 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 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 I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go Wasting 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... I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go Wasting time standing here, I gotta go
