Gotta go, gotta go,
‘cause the sunlight’s on the road,
and I’ve got to be in Texas before long,
but if you hold the line,
I’ll be back to make you mine,
and until then I will leave you with my song.
Take good care of the words
and watch out for the verse,
‘cause it’s got a couple tricky little turns,
but a song must be sung,
especially when it’s young;
that’s the only way it’s ever going to learn.
So, my love, as I go,
I’ll be singing, soft and low,
and I promise you that every word is true,
and if you hum a line,
and think of me from time to time,
then I’ll come back home to sing along with you.
Keep the melody true,
and the harmony, too,
‘cause I’ve only got so many notes to give,
but a song must be sang,
or the spirit will wane,
and without a spirit, how’s it going to live?
Gotta go, gotta go,
‘cause the sunlight’s on the road,
and I’ve got to be in Texas before long,
but if you hold the line,
I’ll be back to make you mine,
and until then I will leave you with my song.
