Got To Move On

Got To Move On

Well, if I had me some shoes
some shoes that would walk around
you know I’d put them on
and walk all over town
But them shoes I own
them shoes is all broke down
so I’m just stuck here waitin’
and waitin’ don’t feel right
I got to move on, Daddy
cuz the time is right

Well, if I had me some wheels
some wheels that would really roll
you know I’d hop in that car
and then I’d hit the road
But I ain’t got no gas
so got no place to go
so I’m just stuck here waitin’
and waitin’ don’t feel right
I got to move on, Daddy
cuz the time is right

Well, you ask me what I’m doing
I don’t rightly know
I’m getting antsy and I just got to go
I’m feelin’ sweaty
and my clothes are too tight
I got to go right now because
the time is right

Well, if I had me some money
I’d buy me a ticket on a train
and if that train don’t work
I’d buy me one for a plane
But I ain’t got no money
so, "Goodbye, open range"
so I’m just stuck here waitin’
and waitin’ don’t feel right
I got to move on, Daddy
cuz the time is right

When I finally make it
I’m hittin’ the road
I don’t care where, I just got to go
There’s just one thing
that’s holding me back:
There just ain’t no way so
I am stuck here, Jack

Well, if I had me a rocket
I’d fly off to the moon
I’d push on through them stars
and come back no time soon
But my rocket is busted
so I just guess I’m screwed
So I’m just stuck here waitin’
and waitin’ don’t feel right
I got to move on, Daddy
cuz the time is right
