Lyrics
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
