Charlie I Gotta Go

I hawked around all my promises

Gave away every gave

If you never take a gamble

All the horses look the same

A man obsessed is a man possessed

Coattail riding a dreamer's dream

It's a fine line between love and fascination

It's a movie that I've already seen

Charlie I gotta go

Don't wanna hang around here no more

Charlie I gotta go

The summer's gone, your heart's grown cold

Sorry Charlie, I gotta go

Got in a whole heap of trouble

Yeah, stuff kept happening that year

Before the Altamont Speedway

Before love turned to fear

Seen it all on the treeline

Seen it all through my scope

But the words of a guru

Just get stuck in my throat

Charlie I gotta go

Don't wanna hang around here no more

Charlie I gotta go

The summer's gone, your heart's grown cold

Sorry Charlie, I gotta go

There's a world full of losers

Who cut and run too soon

Left to rot with the users

Left to howl at the moon

But I'm outta this canyon

I ain't digging this scene no more

Love ain't all you need, Charlie

I'm gonna walk out that door

Charlie I gotta go

Don't wanna hang around here no more

Charlie I gotta go

The summer's gone, your heart's grown cold

Sorry Charlie, I gotta go

If a million more like me

Left with time on the clock

Stood outside of the circle

Watched the lambs in the dock

Hey I'm still feeling the sunshine

But my breath's all but gone

I'm still taking the hard line

Through the words of a song

Charlie I gotta go

Don't wanna hang around here no more

Charlie I gotta go

The summer's gone, your heart's grown cold

Sorry Charlie, I gotta go
