Lyrics

J.D. came home with a Purple Heart, lost his good arm in the war
He spent his days down off Beaumont, behind old man Wiggins' store
And he'd smile at all of the passers-by as he nursed on an ice cold beer
Till the police came and would run him off
They'd say, J.D. it's time to move on from here
They'd say move on, move on J.D.; move on from here
You can go anywhere you want, but you just can't stay here
J.D. carried him a switch blade knife in his hip pocket all the time
He'd sleep it off behind the courthouse with one eye open all night long
But the dreams they'd rage on like a firestorm, every single night of the year
And come morning light the judge would wake him up
He'd say, J.D. it's time to move on from here
He'd say move on, move on J.D.; move on from here
You can go anywhere you want, but you just can't stay here
J.D. got his angel wings when the good lord called him home
Now he spends his days down by the fairgrounds, never more a wandering soul
And he smiles down on all of the passers-by, just grinning from ear to ear
And they all say, hey look over there; look who finally made it here
Well it's move on, move on J.D.; move on J.D. made it here
And he can stay just as long as he wants
Because move on J.D. is welcome here
