Gotta Get Away
Gordon Lightfoot
|_ _|_ _|_ _|_ _| I'm on_ my way_ I got no_ time_ to waste_ Places to go_ people to chase_ Gonna grab_ my comb_ 'n_ my tooth_-pas__-te_ Gotta get away from here_ Twenty-one_ years_ from the day_ I was born_ I was working on the night shift tooting my horn_ Through sheets_ of rain_ through sleet and_ sto__-orm__ You come_ to me_ You_ were the girl_ with the summer_ sun-shine_ In_ your eyes_ and in_ your smile_ You_ were the one I thought_ loved me_ It was something I_ I never could_ quite_ believe_ Gotta get away from here_ I'm a real_ bad_ loser_ that is what I_ am_ Gonna grab_ my hat_ and my_ hexagram_ You can stick_ my money_ in an old_ tin_ can__-an__ I think I fell in love again_ I was down_ by the bus stop biding my time_ I was hitching a ride_ with a friend_ of mine_ I was almost_ gone I was over the li__ -ine__ I said "What's come o_-ver me?"_ You_ were the girl_ with the sound _of spring_ -time_ In_ your songs_ and in_ your voice_ You_ were the one I thought_ loved me_ It was something I_ I never could_ quite_ believe_ Gotta get away from here_ Gotta get back_ to you_ |_ _|_ _|_ _|_ _|_ _|_ _ I'm gonna make it today_ I'm gonna get on my toes_ Been awake so long_ I'm getting ready to doze_ Gonna grab_ my bag_ and a few old_ clothes_ Gotta get away from here_ Gotta get back_ to you_ I gotta get away_ gotta get away_ Gotta get away_ gotta get away_ Gotta get away_ |_ _|_ _|_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _! | _ _ _ _
