Got no time to blow,
Excuse me mister if you please, I gotta go!
I was born in the morning on the day of the dead in a bombed out bungalow...
My momma kissed me on my cheek and said:
I gotta go!
[Chorus:]
I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
Ain't got time for standing 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!
[Chorus:]
I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
Ain't got time for standing standing here,
I gotta go!
... I turn that volume and do some
They tracked my down and took my tail
Brother don't you know
... I gotta go!
[Chorus:]
I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
We're wasting time standing here,
I gotta go!
... in case you didn't hear,
I gotta go!
... the very last words, sir
Say em nice and slow,
My last words on this planet were...
[Chorus:]
I gotta go somewhere,
I gotta go
We're wasting time standing here,
I gotta go!
