(overend watts) Everyone agrees, a little money helps to please, But i just took so much of it, i'm shakin' at the knees And we've gotta leave this town. We've had a heavy day, but the law want us to stay, We told them "thanks a lot, but we've just got to get away" And we've gotta leave right now! There's a place i gotta be, and time won't wait for me But i gotta make it alone I can see the river wind, and hear the guns behind We gotta move, we gotta run, Away from what we've done. Only yesterday i was lazing in the sun, Makin' out with bar-room queens and boozing like a bum Now we've gotta leave this town It don't seem really fair, but then thinkin' of my share, I guess it can't be bad, 'cos i must be a millionaire,
So we've gotta leave right now. There's a place i gotta go where nobody'll know And i've gotta make it alone I can see the hills ahead, and the skyline turning red .... Now i'm crawling down the street with an independent air, Feeling good from being loose, so we ain't got a care And feeling like settling down But someone starts to stare, and he jumps up from his chair, Before he gets to make a sound, i'm sitting on my mare And we've gotta leave right now I don't know where to go, and i'm feeling pretty low But i've gotta make it alone And as i turn around, i can see a dusty cloud .... We gotta move, we gotta run, Away from what we've done We gotta move, we gotta run, All the way to monte carlo.
