Can’t you find the next plane down here
I’ll see you in the afternoon
Well, everybody’s got the right to live
But I feel like I’ve been a fool
Come on, steal away
I feel like it’s time to say
No more giv’n’ my life’s worth livin’
I’ll see you another day

Well, I been a mover
I got to find a life to live
Well, I been a mover
Got to keep lookin’
I’m on my way again.

Well, I’ve seen the world in its course
And I been waiting just to hear you say
Ev’rybody’s try’n to lead your life
But no one can see the way.
Come on, we’re here to stay
Got to find a life away
If you want it, you can get it
You gotta have the nerve to say:

Well, I been a mover
I got to find a life to live
Well, I been a mover
Got to keep lookin’
I’m on my way again.

I been a mover,
I don’t need no one to slow me down
Well, I been a mover,
I just gotta keep movin, a movin’ around
I been a mover,
I don’t need no one to slow me down,
Well, I been a mover,
I just gotta keep movin, a movin’ around
Well, I been a mover,
I just gotta keep movin’, gotta keep movin’ around
I been a mover, I been a mover,
Well, I been a mover, I been a mover
