Don’t blame you when you going This is something you got to do You got to go You got to go
Trying so hard not to cry Since they say a man ain’t supposed to cry But these tears keep running from my eyes
I remember the day I came to the city My children were crying My wife was scared she’s gonna lose me To the girls in the city
To make her feel alright I said it’s impossible To make her feel alright I said it’s impossible But I was wrong
Can’t blame you when you’re going This is something you’ve got to do You’ve got to go Can’t blame you when you’re going This is something you’ve got to do You’ve got to go You’ve got to go
You’ve been keeping me here All these years As your private lover
Letters came from home But I never answered Till tonight when I got this letter From my little daughter saying Missing you, daddy It’s time to go
Can’t blame you when you’re going This is something you’ve got to do You’ve got to go You’ve got to go
Can’t blame you when you’re going This is something you’ve got to do You’ve got to go You’ve got to go
Letters came from home But I never answered Till today when I got this letter from my little daughter saying Missing you daddy It’s time to go
See me now See me no more I heard that whistle blow I knew it’s time to go
Sitting here in this train Going so fast past the trees I’m thinking of words to apologise Cause sorry ain’t enough
Can’t blame you when you’re going This is something you’ve got to do You’ve got to go You’ve got to go
