Gordon Lightfoot - Gotta Get Away lyrics

Places to go, people to chase

Gonna grab my comb 'n my toothpaste

Gotta get away from here

Twenty-one years from the day I was born

I was workin' on the night shift tootin' my horn

Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm

You come to me

You were the girls with the summer sunshine

In your eyes and in your smile

You were the one I thought I thought loved me

It was somethin' I never could quite believe

Gotta get away from here

I'm a real bad loser that's what I am

Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram

You can stick my money in an old tin can

I think I fell in love again

I was down by the bus stop bidin' my time

I was hitchin' a ride with a friend of mine

Iwas almost gone, I was over the line

I said what's come over me

You were the girl with the sound of springtime

In your songs and in your voice

You were the one I thought loved me

It was somethin' 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

Gotta get away, gotta get away

Gotta get away, gotta get away

Gotta get away
