Lyrics
GOTTA MOVE ON
Verse 1
Somewhere past the evergreens
Past the old mill and Tucker?s stream
Waits a world getting? ripe for me
And I gotta see it
This town?s a part of me
A crease in my hand you see
But my hand is bigger
Than this town can be
Chorus
I gotta move on
I gotta get out of here
I gotta hop in my car
And find a new gear
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
From this old town
I gotta move on
Verse 2
The sign at the entrance of this town reads
?All roads they lead here?
but I?m thinkin?
I just need to get outta here
Before my roots run too deep
Before Rip Van Winkle sleeps
Before I make any promises
That I just can?t keep
Chorus
I gotta move on
I gotta get out of here
I gotta hop in my car
And find a new gear
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
From this old town
I gotta move on
Bridge
I?ve gotta reach out ?cross those city lines
and wrap my hands ?round a space that?s mine
I?ll build something new
and I?ll make it from our old home ways
Chorus
But I gotta move on
I gotta get out of here
I gotta hop in my car
And find a new gear
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
From this old town
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
You know I love this old town
But I gotta move on
Gotta move on?
Get a move on
I gotta move on
Get a move, get a move on
You know I love this old town
But I gotta move on
I gotta move on
