Gordon Lightfoot Gotta Get Away Lyrics

CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:
VRS 1:
I'm on my way, I got no time to waste
Places to go, people to chase
Gonna grab my comb 'n my toothpaste
Gotta get away from here
VRS 2:
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 storm
You come to me
HORUS:
You were the girl with the summer sunshine
In your eyes and in your smile
You were the one I thought loved me
It was something I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
VRS 3:
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
VRS 4:
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 line
I said, "What's come over me?"
HORUS:
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 something I never could quite believe
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get back to you
INSTRUMNTL:
VRS 5:
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
