Sometimes You Gotta Go

Sometimes you gotta go

Walk straight into the snow

Search for silence of the night

Open your eyes up wide and bright

Kiss your mother goodbye for a little while

Shake your fathers hand and walk a cold hard mile

Tell your friends you'll see them when you see them again

Sometimes you gotta go

With legs built to roam

Find a cheap flight going anywhere

Lose track of counting street signs

To forget your way home

You'll miss your kid sister on the very first night

Some day she'll confide in you about her life

And after a little while she'll declare that

Sometimes you gotta go

Sometimes you gotta go

There ain't no point to reminisce

Sometimes you gotta go

There's no need for second guessing

No one here to have their blessing

It's your time

So search a little deeper and find

There's nothing much worth keeping here

In your prime

Baptized in a sea of doubt

So much one could do without

In this life

Your wasted hours in the world

Won't lay down bricks or produce pearls
