Movin' On
I'll see my mother again I know
I see her everywhere I go
Sometimes I see my father too
Pourin' over blue prints that he drew
He made his way with sweat and brains
So I could ride this first class train
While I didn't even know where to
Only knew it wouldn't be long
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on
Sing a song about the big ship goin' down
Grandma cried, grandpa too
Then we went to town
To get some ice cream, see a picture show
Come back and take a swim in the lake's moon glow
Well, I knew then there were no watery graves
Just tears and laughter and moonlight on the waves
Then the cryin' of the mornin' loon
Pretty soon summers' gone
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on
My wife's mama lyin' in a dyin' bed
They've anointed her with oils and some words are being said
Somethin' about the soul bein' present eternally
Does that mean I'll be seein' you, babe
Would you be seein' me?
Twilight's dimmin' down another day
Been some moments I didn't wanna let slip away
As if they wouldn't, as if I could
Stay in a place where time just stood
Like wood and steel in a watery grave
No tears, no laughter, no moonlight on the waves
Well, there's no place like that, it's true
Right here's where you and I belong
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on, always movin' on, yeah
Always movin' on, always movin' on
I see her everywhere I go
Sometimes I see my father too
Pourin' over blue prints that he drew
He made his way with sweat and brains
So I could ride this first class train
While I didn't even know where to
Only knew it wouldn't be long
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on
Sing a song about the big ship goin' down
Grandma cried, grandpa too
Then we went to town
To get some ice cream, see a picture show
Come back and take a swim in the lake's moon glow
Well, I knew then there were no watery graves
Just tears and laughter and moonlight on the waves
Then the cryin' of the mornin' loon
Pretty soon summers' gone
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on
My wife's mama lyin' in a dyin' bed
They've anointed her with oils and some words are being said
Somethin' about the soul bein' present eternally
Does that mean I'll be seein' you, babe
Would you be seein' me?
Twilight's dimmin' down another day
Been some moments I didn't wanna let slip away
As if they wouldn't, as if I could
Stay in a place where time just stood
Like wood and steel in a watery grave
No tears, no laughter, no moonlight on the waves
Well, there's no place like that, it's true
Right here's where you and I belong
Always movin' on, always movin' on
Always movin' on, always movin' on, yeah
Always movin' on, always movin' on
