I Gotta Go Songtext
von BEET

Born where the heat holds tight, sand settles slow in the radio light
I know every crack in these desert roads
And every dream that′s been left to corrode

They see my face and say the die was cast
With a heart too big and a hand-me-down past
But I swear I hear something hum through the wires—
A song pullin' me down the telephone lines

The road′s got lessons the schoolbooks don't teach
And wisdom don't grow where the roots don′t reach
I′d rather get lost than fade into dust
A ghost of someone who never woke up

I'm chasin′ the places I ain't ever been
Writin′ my name where the sand don't win
Ain′t scared of goodbye, I was born for the spin
I gotta go where the river ain't been


She still waits by the old screen door
Says "You'll find what you′re lookin′ for."
But I don't think she really understands
This ain′t about maps—this is about a soul

The road's got lessons the schoolbooks don′t teach
And wisdom don't grow where the roots don′t reach
I'd rather get lost than fade into dust
A ghost of someone who never woke up

I'm chasin′ the places I ain′t ever been
Writin' my name where the sand don′t win
Ain't scared of goodbye, I was born for the spin
I gotta go where the river ain′t been

Let the wheels turn, let the night run wild
Every road is a teacher, every mile's a trial
Maybe I′ll come back when the seasons change
But right now, I need to find my name

I'm chasin' the places I ain′t ever been
Writin′ my name where the sand don't win
Ain′t scared of goodbye, I was born for the spin
I gotta go where the river ain't been
