Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go

Gotta get away, I gotta do it now
I gotta step into the sun ha ha
You see I'm leavin' baby, on the midnight train to Georgia
Nobody to blame I feel the same
Too many days filled with rain, I can't take the pain
I must maintain
After all these years isn't it strange
That to remain sane I gotta make a change
I'm leaving

And you [bad word] out to play
Don't you know it's gonna hurt so much inside
And these are feelings you can't dany
And don't you know if you walk outside the door
Leavin' me for more, I guess I'll have to follow you
And I'll watch everything that you do baby
Gotta go, gotta go

Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go
Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go

You gotta take it all away regardless of what I say
Don't you know I can't hear none of that
Yeah maybe I'm a little cracked
Once you find love as real as the sky above
You know I'll want more
Cause I'm a part of everything you do
Baby I got to go

Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go
Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go

Hey girl I'm missin' you, yeah my heart broke right in two
The pain hurt slowly, you're my one and only
Baby I want to be kissing you, smacking those lips until they fall in two
I'm so lonely, girl I want to be kissing you

Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go
Bye bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinking about leavin' u
Gotta go, gotta go, hey gotta go, gotta go

You're not an OP like Bootsy but I still believe
Showed you all the tricks up your sleeve
Indeed I proceed with caution
Got you thinkin' about the love that you lost but [bad word] got to leave
No you can't go, I need to time grow
I'm ready and I'm heading toward the next plateau
If you see me uptown, Riverside Drive to me this babydoll, just walk on by
This is it, I gotta leave now
I gotta go
I gotta leave
I gotta go
I gotta leave
See ya
