Lyrics

MOVIN' ON
Words and Music by John Cannon


Sittin' it out in New York City, finally hearing Country on the radio
Lookin' at myself with pity.
The songs remind me of where I long to be


Oh I'm thirsty for the cool sweet water
and my ears long to hear the wind blowin' through the trees
Yes, my heart longs to be in the country
so my body feels that it should be movin' on


So I'm goin' to the Auto Auction, goin' there to buy a "travelin' piece"
Soon I'll be out on the highway, eatin' up the road
between here and where I want to be


Oh I'm thirsty for the cool sweet water
and my ears long to hear the wind blowin' through the trees
Yes, my heart longs to be in the country
so my body feels that it should be movin' on
Movin' on, movin' on


Sittin' it out in New York City finally hearing Country on the radio
The girls are smart and oh they're pretty,
but they don't satisfy the hunger in my soul

Still I'm thirsty for the cool sweet water
and my ears long to hear the wind blowin' through the trees
Yes, my heart longs to be in the country
so my body feels that it should be movin' on


So I'm packin' my bags and taking' my hat. Gonna have a smoke before I scat
Look out road here I come. Goodbye city,
it's certainly been a lot of fun


But I'm thirsty for the cool sweet water
and my ears long to hear the wind blowin' through the trees
Yes, my heart longs to be in the country
so my body feels that it should be movin' on
Movin' on, movin' on
Movin' on, Movin' on
Movin' on, movin' on
Movin' on, Movin' on
