"Get While the Gettin's Good"

"Get While the Gettin's Good”

I’m gonna get while the gettin’s good
I got to get on out of town
Get while the gettin’s good
no time to hang around
She done told a tale to me
when she told me she was free
oh yeah indeed mercy me

Her Bad Boy is back in town
and he caught her in a lie
I’m gonna get while the gettin’s good
I got to run now for my life
Somebody might be finding me
all tied up to a tree
oh yeah oh me and my broken knees

I’m gonna get while the gettin’s good
I got to get on out of town
Get while the gettin’s good
no time to hang around
There’s a code among men
you don’t mess with each other's women
Oh my good bye I’m gonna die

That big dude is trailin’ me
I’m goin’ far away
I’ve gotta get while the gettin’s good
away I’m gonna stay
she told them a great big fib
hey look I’ve got three broken ribs
Oh gee look at me I can’t breath.
