I Gotta Go

Robert Earl Keen

[Verse 1]
Ain't got time to shoot the breeze
Got no time to blow
Excuse me, mister, if you please
I gotta go
Born one mornin' 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 standin' here
I gotta go

[Verse 2]
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 standin' here
I gotta go

[Verse 3]
Five card stud, deuces wild
Three kings in a row
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled
I gotta go
They tracked my down, 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
Wastin' time standin' here
I gotta go

[Verse 4]
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
Wastin' time standin' here
I gotta go

[Chorus]
I gotta go somewhere
I gotta go
Wastin' time standin' here
I gotta go
