Randy Newman

Gotta get goin, cause I cant stay here long, now.
Cause Im tired of the way, Ive been dogged around.
Well, Ive got to roam, maybe find me a brand-new home.
Im goin up the country, baby dont you wanna go?
Im goin up the country, baby dont you wanna go?
Im goin to some place where Ive never been before.
Im goin, Im goin where the water tastes like wine.
Well, Im goin where the water tastes like wine.
You can jump in the water and stay drunk all the time.
[Solo]
Im gonna leave this city, got to get away.
Im gonna leave this city, got to get away.
All this fussin and fightin, man you know I sure cant stay.
Now baby, packin up the truck you know I got to leave today.
Just exacly where Im goin I can not say, but we might even leave the USA.
Its a brand-new game and I dont wanna play.
[Solo]
No use of you running or screaming and crying
But you got a home man, long as I got mine.
Gotta get goin, gotta get goin, gotta get goin, gotta get goin.
Gotta get goin, well Im goin, well Im goin...
Gotta get goin, I cant stay here long now.
Cause Im tired of the way Ive been dogged around.
Well, Ive got to roam, maybe find me a brand new home
