Description
This is a quarky little tune based on a true story about an older brother (mine) years ago. The song never quit made it into a specific genre. However, there's something catchy about it that caused us to keep it around. This version is a extremely out of our style. So what the hell...
Lyrics
Gotta Get Away (Music and Lyrics: Deadwood Dick © 2006) Lost my lover, she caught me with another Now she won’t take me back This foolish pride, my alpha strife I just can’t face the facts I’d love to run around, used to put her down I rubbed it in her face Until my heart and conscience put me in my place I finally broke down and decided to leave it to fate To my surprise, she looked me in the eyes - It’s too late ~ I’m left wondering, who she’s fuckin’ Who’s taken my place? Oh, my heart is aching, what was I thinking When I let her walk away? I just can’t hide it, time to face it I can’t pretend no more I try to forget her, but she’s always on my mind I lie awake at night, fidget, toss, and turn What I’m hiding from her, I can’t lie and say It doesn’t hurt ~ There’s just one thing, left for sure I can never, correct my errors ‘Cause I’d really love to stay and I know that she’ll be ok I won’t eat crow, baby time for me to go I’d love us to remain, but really, really gotta get away ~Ha! (SOLO) Lost my lover, caught with another Now she wants me back My heart is aching, what was I thinking When I let her walk away? My Irish pride, this foolish strife, I can’t face this pain I’d really love to stay, but she has that baby on the way My lover’s so fine and I know that she’ll heal in time Oh, how I hate to go, but I really, really, gotta get away There’s just one thing, left for sure I’ll be heading, out the door I’d really love to stay, but the baby’s due any day My love for her is more than I can say I’m under the gun and I really, really gotta get away
