I WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO FIND THAT I’M STILL HERE
NOBODY BY MY SIDE TO SAY HELLO
NO LIPS TO SHARE A SMILE OR KISS AWAY A TEAR
SUDDENLY I KNOW IT’S TIME TO GO
I’M MOVING ON, I’M MOVING ON
PACKING UP MY GUITAR AND MY MEMORIES OF THIS PLACE
PEOPLE IN THESE PARTS ARE TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS FACE
BUT THEY WON'T SEE IT WHEN THE SUN COMES 'ROUND AGAIN
MY SONGS WILL BE AN ECHO ON THE WIND
NOBODY'S GOING TO MISS ME 'TIL I'M GONE
I'M MOVING ON, MOVING ON
* * * * *
YOU CAN’T OUTRUN YOUR TROUBLES, I’LL TAKE MINE AND GO
CAN’T THINK UP ONE GOOD REASON I SHOULD STICK
LOOK FOR ME WHERE FOLKS KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT SLOW
LIVING HERE CAN GET YOU OLD TOO QUICK
I’ M MOVING ON, I’M MOVING ON
SOMEPLACE WHERE MY DREAMS WON’T GET SHOVED DOWN INTO THE DIRT
BEING DIFFERENT WON’T MATTER AND BEING ME WON’T HURT
WHERE LIFE IS FUN AND DOESN’T MOVE SO FAST
WHERE FRIENDSHIP IS FOREVER, AND LOVE IS MADE TO LAST
NOBODY’S GOING TO MISS ME TILL I’M GONE
I’M MOVING ON, I’M MOVING ON
* * * * *
I’M MOVING ON, I’M MOVING ON
PACKING UP MY GUITAR AND MY MEMORIES OF THIS PLACE
PEOPLE IN THESE PARTS ARE TOO FAMILIAR WITH THIS FACE
BUT THEY WON’T SEE IT WHEN THE SUN COMES 'ROUND AGAIN
MY SONGS WILL BE AN ECHO ON THE WIND
NOBODY’S GOING TO MISS ME TILL I’M GONE
I’M MOVING ON, I’M MOVING ON
