[Intro]
Yo, it's your joy John Legend
D. Teezy on the track
Be easy, y'all, I gotta go

[Chorus]
Johnny's gotta get away (Yeah, yeah)
I really wasn't born to stay (This goes out to)
I'm gonna make it big someday (All my people in Ohio)
So I gotta go (I love y'all, but I got to go)
Y'all don't have to cry for me (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause I'll be making history (Ha, yeah)
I'm gonna hit the big city, so I gotta go (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
There comes a time when you gotta go and chase your destiny
Change your pace, change your place, be what you're supposed to be
Well, I'm older now and this town ain't really big enough for me
Got places to go, people to see, you know I gotta leave, oh

[Chorus]
Johnny's gotta get away (I gotta get away)
I really wasn't born to stay (Yeah)
I'm gonna make it big someday, so I gotta go (Mama, don't cry)
Y'all don't have to cry for me (Hey)
'Cause I'll be making history
I'm gonna hit the big city, so I gotta go (Yeah)
