I spend the winter in the city
Cuddling close to keep me warm
Soon as I knew the spring was breaking
I got the urge for moving on
I like the highway roads unfolding
I like to breathe sweet country air
Hearing the note that the breeze is holding
Lightens my burden, eases my cares
I got to stop this city living
And get back to some solid ground
I got to take what life is giving
I open my window, I hear the wind blow
Something will call me, off I'll go, I know
(I will know, moving right on)
When I had grown to one and 20
I left the country far behind
Got me a job in Pittsburg city
Loading on iron from the mine
Working me heart off through December
Saving my money when I can
Big city boys will try to cheat you
Women will curse you like a man
I got to stop this city living
And get back to some solid ground
I got to take what life is giving
Often all easy you can believe me
No one to tell me, to come and when to go
(When to go, moving right on)
When I get back to West Virginia
I'm gonna set for quite a spell
Mama will talk about Salvation
Daddy is going to give me Hell
But I never had no long ambition
Wanna be easy in my mind
I need a horse that needs a rider
I need a girl that's sweet and kind
I got to stop this city living
And get back to some solid ground
I got to take what life is giving
Space all around me, no troubles to haunt me
Drinking sweet country cider
Taking things real slow
(Taking it slow, moving right on)
I spent the winter in the city
Cuddling close to keep me warm
Soon as I knew the spring was breaking
I got the urge for moving on
Moving on, on, on, on
Moving on, on, moving right on
Moving on, on, on, on
Moving on, on, moving right on
Moving on, on, on, on
Moving on, on, moving right on
Moving on, on, on...
