Monte Carlo Songtext

von Mott

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
