Woke up today, with a lonesome feeling
The walls are closin' in on me
I rolled out of bed, stumbled to the door
Just to see what I could see
I looked to the east, looked to the west
See them dark clouds movin' on down
I'm packin' my bag, headin' for the sun
Lord I'm leavin' this lonesome town
I'm movin' on (movin' on)
Movin' on (movin' on)
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
I know where I've been and I can't stay here
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
I once had a girl, she promised the world
But she couldn't see me at all
I kissed her goodbye, I told her not to cry
Turned around and I was gone
I'm movin' on (movin' on)
Movin' on (movin' on)
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
I know where I've been and I can't stay here
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
Every now and then, I feel that blowin' wind
And I'll think of all the roads I've crossed
When every place you roam feels just like home
Tell me how can you get lost
I look to the east, look to the west
Hear that lonesome whistle blow (whoo-whoo)
I just can't stay in the same place too long
Lord it's time for me to go
I'm movin' on (movin' on)
Movin' on (movin' on)
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
I know where I've been and I can't stay here
Lord I'm movin' on down that line
I know where I've been and I can't stay here
