Charlie I Gotta Go Lyrics

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
