Robert Earl Keen - I Gotta Go lyrics

rate me

Ain’t got time to shoot the breeze,

Got no time to blow,

Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go!

(I was) born in the 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

wastin time standing 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, dueces wild,

Three kings in a row,

I turned that diamond duece 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

We’re 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...

Chorus:

I gotta go somewhere,

I gotta go

We’re wasting time standing here,

I gotta go!
