i've gotta get a message to you lyrics

Well, the preacher turned to me and he smiled
He said, ?Come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile?
Now, for once in your life, you're alone
And you ain't got a dime, there's no time for the phone

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

I told him I'm in no hurry
And if I broke her heart then please tell her I'm sorry
Now for once in my life I'm alone
But I've gotta let her know, one more time before I go

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

Well, I laughed, but that didn't hurt
And it's only her love that keeps me wearing this smirk
Now I'm crying, but deep down inside
I did it to him, now it's my turn to die

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on

I've just gotta get a message to you
Hold on, hold on
One more hour and my life will be through
Hold on, hold on
