MOVING

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
