I've Gotta Get A Message To You

[Verse 1] The preacher talked with me and he smiled Said "Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile Now for once in your life you're alone But you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I told him I'm in no hurry But if I broke her heart, then won't you tell her I'm sorry And for once in my life, I'm alone And I gotta let her know just in time before I go [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Well I laughed, but that didn't hurt And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt Now I'm crying, but deep down inside Well I did it to him, now it's my turn to die [Chorus] 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 [Outro] I've just gotta get a message to her Hold on, hold on One more hour and my life will be through Hold on, hold on
