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 mama kissed me on 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 a 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 take

Brother, don't you know?

I told them 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 and 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
