When I get my chance, when I get my call,
I'm going to tear off the roof; I'm going to shake these walls.
You should've seen it coming, should have known I'd run.
Oh, mama let me go.
If I lose all i could, I'd be standing int he shoes
that my daddy stood.
There's something in my way each and every day.
Oh, let me go.
And I'd thank the lord, every day,
But he probably wouldn't listen, wouldn't care anyway.
Let the curtain fall, that's the end of the show.
Oh, let me go.
So shout out loud at the top of your lungs,
Because everybody's dreaming,
it's a long, hard run. i've seen it all before,
and I can't take it no more.
Oh, let me go.
Keep on moving, forget what they say,
You can't get where you're going on a broke down train.
It's a thousand miles, but I'm right on time.
Oh, let me go.
