You gotta go, you gotta go

The train is leaving and your mother is still on the phone

And the heat just got here and your daddy is on his way home

You gotta go, you gotta go

Cuz your sister is still screaming and your brother is already gone

All your dear friends are missing, but your ticket says twelve on the dot

And that white dress you’re wearing will look better when you reach the next stop

You gotta go, you gotta go

Cuz that place is just waiting and your heart will keep breaking more

Leave your bags girl, start chasing, this train won’t sit still for anyone

And I thought that I told you, you gotta get a move on

Cuz the people keep rhythm with a beat that’s been dead for too long

You gotta go, you gotta go
