I Gotta Go by Robert Earl Keen
I Gotta Go
Capo 2
Am C G Em
Ain't got time to shoot the breeze, Got no time to blow,
Am C Em Am
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go
Am C G Em
Born one mornin’ on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow
Am C Em Am
My momma kissed my cheek and said... I gotta go
Chorus:
F C G Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am F Em Am
Wastin' time standing here, I gotta go
Am C G Em
They put me in an orphanage, West of Tupelo
Am C Em Am
I told em when I burnt that bridge, I gotta go
Am C G Em
Stole a car, got a gun, Robbed the Hidey-Ho
Am C Em Am
I left Memphis on the run... I gotta go
Chorus:
F C G Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am F Em Am
Wastin' time standing here, I gotta go
Am C G Em
Five card stud, deuces wild, Three kings in a row
Am C Em Am
I turned that diamond deuce and smiled, I gotta go
Am C G Em
They tracked my down and took my take, brother don't you know
Am C Em Am
I told them boys there's some mistake, I gotta go
Chorus:
F C G Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am F Em Am
Wastin' time standing here, I gotta go
Am C G Em
Cold Steel up against my head, they turned the lights down low
Am C Em Am
In case you didn't hear I said...I gotta go
Am C G Em
These are your very last words sir, say em nice and slow,
Am C
My last words on this planet were...
Chorus x2
F C G Am
I gotta go somewhere, I gotta go
Am F Em Am
Wastin' time standing here, I gotta go
