Johnny’s Gotta Go Songtext
von John Legend

Yo, it′s your joy John Legend
D. Teezy on the track
Be easy, y'all, I gotta go

Johnny′s gotta get away
(Yeah, yeah)
I really wasn't born to stay
(This goes out to)
I'm gonna make it big someday
(All my people in Ohio)
So I gotta go
(I love y′all, but I got to go)
Y′all don't have to cry for me
(Yeah, yeah)
′Cause I'll be making history
(Ha, yeah)
I′m gonna hit the big city, so I gotta go (Yeah)


There comes a time when
You gotta go and
Chase your destiny
Change your pace
Change your place
Be what you're supposed to be
Well, I′m older now and this
Town ain't really big enough for me
Got places to go, people to see
You know I gotta leave, oh

Johnny's gotta get away
(I gotta get away)
I really wasn′t born to stay (Yeah)
I′m gonna make it big someday
So I gotta go (Mama, don't cry)
Y′all don't have to cry for me (Hey)
′Cause I'll be making history
I′m gonna hit the big city
So I gotta go (Yeah)


I told my mom and my
Daddy that they don't
Have to worry about me
I'ma be alright, I′ll be okay
Yeah, I′ma do real big things
And when it's said and done
Your second son will be the one
To change the game
Claim to fame
The kids will be
Singing my name, oh

Johnny′s gotta get away
(Yeah, yeah)
I really wasn't born to stay (Oh)
I′m gonna make it big someday
So I gotta go (Mama, don't cry)
Y′all don't have to cry for me
(Woo, woo, woo, yeah)
