Lyrics
Gotta Get Back Home (Emmrich/Rosano) Intro: Talk to ya, huh. Well I’ve got a story to tell. This is a song about reaching for a dream only to have life just slap you back down. Yea, it’s a tough, mean world out there. (v1 @0:28) I was 16 when I left home I never realized the path would be so long Thought I’d make it big somewhere (v2 0:39) I carried my guitar into the bar Thinking I’d be the next big star Imagine my surprise (0:47) My dream was a nightmare in disguise (ch 0:51) Leaving young was crazy thing to do Gotta Get Back Home, gotta get back home Time is short and the path is long Don’t really know if I am that strong Gotta Get Back Home, gotta get back home (v3 1:14) I’ve had it tough, I’m all broke down Got no place to call my home town No insurance, No IRA, no roof over me I’ve forgotten how to get down on a bended knee (v4 1:25) Music is a gift from God you say I just can’t remember how to pray All I have is regret and pain My only friends: Alcohol and cocaine (ch 1:52) Leaving young was such a crazy thing to do Gotta Get Back Home, gotta get back home Time is short and the path is long Don’t really know if I am that strong Gotta Get Back Home, not hesitate Gotta Get Back Home before it’s too late Notes: (1) Still needs some re-writing to allow better phrasing. (2) The second line needs to be changed since I am using "long path" in the chorus.
