Lyrics
MOVIN' ON OUT
written by Shannon Lee
IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND I'M WIDE AWAKE
I'VE BEEN THINKING OF A FLIGHT THAT I'VE GOT TO TAKE
GOTTA GET AWAY FROM YOU, GONNA MOVE RIGHT OUT OF HERE
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO THE SITUATION IS CLEAR
DON'T YOU GIVE ME SAD EYES,
FOR YOU IT'S JUST A DISGUISE
I'VE GOT THINGS TO DO, I'VE GOT PLANS TO MAKE
RIGHT NOW I'M MOVING ON UP
I'VE GOT A ROAD TO TAKE, I'M GOING THROUGH THE GATE
THAT'S IT I'M MOVING ON OUT, AND UP AND OVER AND THROUGH
I'M MOVIN' ON OUT
WELL THE WRITING'S ON THE WALL, AND IT SEEMS TO SAY
WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO TAKE A FALL, BETTER GET AWAY
I'VE GOT TO MEND MY TROUBLED SOUL, I'VE GOT TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE
'CAUSE THE PAIN'S TAKEN A TOLL, IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT
DON'T YOU GIVE ME SAD EYES,
I'M TIRED OF ALL OF YOUR LIES
