Gonna Move

When I was a little boy felt so alone

Just a quiet country house I had to call home

Live with some other folks and rich millionaires

Just sat on their money lord, it seemed they didn't care

Finally we moved out and found our own place

Where I could walk around with a smile on my face

But I knew in order to become a man

I'd have to pull up my roots and move on in this land

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I came to school in the big city

Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty

Told me they'd teach me to live by their rules

So I wouldn't be nobody's fool

I found out, 'fore too long

Those rules didn't allow me to sing my song

But I knew in order to become a man

I have to pull up my roots and move on in this land

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

And finally I joined the college ranks

They told me they'd teach me how to think

Gave me books to read and papers to write

But they didn't know about this boy's coming fight

I found out after a while

Reading those books was not helping my smile

But I knew in order to not conceal

I'd have to play my music and express what I feel

I've gotta move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here yeah

You can find me if you want to go, oh ya wanna go
