First Annual Farewell Reunion - I've Gotta Get a Message to You Lyrics

The preacher talked with me and he smiled
Said "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile
For once in your life, you're alone
And you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone"

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

I told him I'm in no hurry
And if I broke her heart, won't you tell her I'm sorry
For once in my life, I'm alone
And I have to let her know just in time before I go

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

I lied, but that didn't work
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this hurt
I lied, but deep down inside
Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
