[Spoken] I wanna dedicate this song, "Gone 'Til November"
To all you ladies out there, crying all alone in your room
And all you fellas going South, not making it back
May the Lord bless your soul, I love you
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
Girl I gotta leave, please don't cry
When I come back you know the limit's the sky
I'll take you out to dinner to your favorite spot
Feed you an aphrodisiac just to get you hot
Drive by movies, by a cemetery
If my corpse could talk, then I would tell you I was sorry
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Some die with a name, some die nameless
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
We had nothing, I had to do something
So I'm knocking on heaven's door like Bob Dylan
Never contemplating the charges I'm facing
My newborn son, I hope I see his graduation
Take him to the movies, by a cemetery
If my corpse could talk then I would tell him I was sorry
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Some die with a name some die nameless
Everytime I make a run, girl you turn around and cry
I ask myself why, oh why
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5
So I'll be gone 'til November
Said I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl I'll be gone 'til November
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
Yo tell my girl yo I'll be gone 'til November
January, February, March, April, May
I see you cryin', but girl I can't stay
I'll be gone 'til November, I'll be gone 'til November
And give a kiss to my mother
