If I Gotta Go
“IF I’VE GOTTA GO”
I’ve seen what lies ahead
What mom’s doctor did choose
A nursing home nightmare
Her mind and body bruise.
She was happy at first
Her dearest friend was there
Each did their very best
Oversee each one’s care.
Won’t be that way for me
From the start be worse
“If gotta go” somewhere
God pray, it’s in a hearse!
