I get up in the morning and it’s just another day
Pack up my belongings, I’ve got to get away
Jump in to a taxi and the time is gettin’ tight
I go to keep on movin’ on I got a show tonight

I’m movin’ on, movin’ on from town to town, yeah
I’m movin’ on, baby, my feet are never touchin’ the ground, yeah

I take it to the ticket there’s a half a dollar boat
Headin’ for the Bordengate I’m feelin’ pretty low
Fifteen minutes later, I’m sittin’ on my plane
Fastened in my safety belt I’m takin’ off again

I’m movin’ on, movin’ on from town to town
I’m movin’ on, little darlin’, I can’t seem to slow me down

Yeah, people got to move and move
Yeah, that’s why I’m movin’ on, alright
Yeah, people got to move and move
Yeah, never seem to slow me down, alright

Oh good rockin’ tonight, baby

I got to move, I got to move
Yeah, I got to keep on keepin’ on movin’ on yeah
Why don’t you come along with me?

I got to move, yeah I don’t mind as long as I’m movin’
Yes, I’m movin’ on
I love everyday you of my life
I guess I’am close to you
I’m movin’
