Gotta Get Goin' - Goodnight, Texas (Official Video) Chords

[Eb] _ I gave notice and headed for the door I [Bb] told them all I'd [Eb] see them when, when I was no more
I went to see my mother, I hate to see her cry [Bb] I saw to it [Ebm] that she had [Bb] got enough [Eb] to get her by
But I gotta get going, gotta get going, gotta get going
If [Ab] God willin' [Eb] the creek don't rise, gotta get going, _ gotta get going, _ gotta get going
_ If God [Ab] willin' the [Eb] creek don't rise
_ I untied my pony, skinny [Bb] as a hound I kissed her with my boot heel until [Eb] we made some ground
I pointed all my compasses away from where I came And rode from Frederick County with a dollar to my name
But I gotta get going, _ gotta get going, gotta get going _
If God willin' the creek don't rise, gotta get going, _ gotta get going, _ gotta get going
If God [Ab] willin' the creek [Eb] don't rise _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

[Eb] I stopped in Harper's Ferry for a weary night I thought I'd make a friend or two by getting in a fight
I sipped a bit much whiskey, I said a couple [Bb]
words I kissed the [Eb] preacher's daughter and I flipped a couple birds
I overstayed my welcome in the first degree It's half past ten now and I got here ten-oh [Ab]-three
[Eb] I ran out to my stallion [Cm] voluntarily They [Eb] bid me farewell _ with the [Ab] infantry _ _
[Eb] But I gotta get going, _ gotta get going, gotta get going
If God [Ab] willin' the creek [Eb] don't rise, gotta get going, gotta get going, gotta get going
If [Ab] God willin' [Eb] the creek don't rise
I traveled through October, the mountains and the [Ab] plains [Eb] Hoping all the losses won't [Cm] outweigh the gains
[Eb] Longing for my hometown froze me [Fm] like the ice [Eb] With dreams of Frederick County and my mother will [Ab] suffice
[Eb] A letter from my brother to me was [Bb] addressed I still don't understand just how it found [Eb] me in the West
I read it twenty times or more, I [Bb] still can't put it down The [Eb] creek had swelled beyond the banks and swallowed up the town
_ So I gotta get going, gotta get going, gotta get going
If God [Ab] willin' the creek [Eb] don't rise, gotta get going, gotta get going, gotta get going
If God willin' the creek don't _
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
rise, _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ gotta get going _ _ _ _ _
