I've Gotta Get a Message to You

Well, the preacher turned to me

And he smiled

He said, "come and walk with me

Come and walk one more mile"

Now, for once in your life, you're alone

And you ain't got a dime

There's no time for the phone

I told him I'm in no hurry

And if I broke her heart

Then please tell her I'm sorry

Now for once in my life I'm alone

But I've gotta let her know

One more time before I go

I've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

Swing it

Get a little more?

I've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

Well, I laughed, but that didn't hurt

And it's only her love

That keeps me wearing this smirk

Now I'm crying, but deep down inside

I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

I've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on

I've just gotta get a message to you

Hold on, hold on

One more hour and my life will be through

Hold on, hold on
