Movin' The Country Lyrics


Br5-49 Movin' The Country

Songwriters: Mead, Chuck; Murphy, Alan;

Well a long time ago when I left home
I never thought I would be
Part of a wheel in a cog on a belt
That turned the big machine

I wanted out on the road or down on the street
Or something wild and free
But now I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
In Nashville, Tennessee

They promise you this, they promise you that
You never know what to believe
All I want is to live the good life
That someone promised me

You try to be honest, you try to be fair
But the blame is always on me
'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
In Nashville, Tennessee

Long black shadow reachin' way too far
Crampin' everybody's style
Everybody here gets to be a star
When the lights go out you're still on trial

No matter where I go or what I do
It never seems good enough
All I know is if it don't kill me
It's gonna make me tough

Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks
And grease up that machine
But I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
In Nashville, Tennessee

Well no matter where I go or what I do
It never seems good enough
All I know is if it don't kill me
It's gonna make me tough

Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks
And grease up that machine
'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
In Nashville, Tennessee

And move on
Move on
And move on
Move on
