Jesse Stewart
Before the Goin’ Gets Me
[Chorus: Jesse Stewart]
I gotta get gone before the goin' gets me
Tired as a workhorse can't you see?
Darlin' won't you, won't you please?
Leave my mind so I can sleep
Gotta get gone before the goin' gets me
Tired as a workhorse can't you see?
Thousand miles down that highway
And I still can't sleep, no no
[Verse 1]
One dollar away from drinking away my feelings, my feelings
And I'm, two dollars short of forgetting her name
What's her name, don't remember her
Three dollars away from that highway, the highway
And I'm, four dollars short of my next train
My next choo choo choo choo bitch
[Chorus]
Gotta get gone before the goin' gets me
Tired as a workhorse can't you see?
Dreadlock woman won't you please
Leave my mind so I can sleep
I gotta get gone before the goin' gets me
Tired as a workhorse can't you see?
Darlin' won't you, won't you please?
Leave my mind so I can sleep
[Bridge]
I'm drownin' in a sea of the sleepin'
Like ants they meander on
Oh, the American Dream ain't nothing but reavin'
Time to wake up you've been sleeping too long
[Verse 2]
One dollar away from being too late
Two minutes away from sealing my fate
Three more towns I have missed
And four more meals I will skip
Tuck your chin, take a swing
Make damn sure you throw all your weight in
Cause if you're gonna take a shot
You best make it worth, rememberin'
