Gonna Move

When I was a little boy, I felt so alone Quiet country house that I had to call home Living with a couple of folks, rich millionaires Sat on their money; Lord, it seems they didn't care Finally we moved to our own place Where I could walk around with a smile on my face, And I knew in order to be a man I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Came to a school in the big city Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty They told me and teached me to live by their rules So I wouldn't be nobody's fool I found out, not too long Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song I knew in order to be a man I had to pull up my roots once again and move on in this land I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there Then I joined the college ranks There they said they'd teach me how to think They gave me books to read and papers to write They didn't know about this boy's coming fight But I found out after awhile Reading those books was making me lose my smile I knew in order to not conceal I had to play music and express what I feel I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there I'm gonna move away from here You can find me if you wanna go there
