I Gotta Go (Album Version)

I Gotta Go - Robert Earl Keen

Ain't got time to shoot the breeze

Got no time to blow

Excuse me mister if you please

I gotta go

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

I gotta go somewhere

I gotta go

Wrest 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

Wrest 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 me dowm they took my take

And brother don't you know

I told them boys there's somethin' strange

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 lamps down low

In case you didn't hear I said

I gotta go

These are your veery last words son

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
