Hey babe, you gotta wake up now,

I got something to say,

The way I feel I can't stay here

I gotta leave today,

I can't stand to settle down,

I gotta catch a ride

I gotta get outta here,

Because I wanna be outside,



You look just as good to me,

And you ain't done nothing wrong,

There's places that I gotta be,

I been standing still too long,

Baby please don't be mad,

you treated me real fine,

Best thing I ever had



[Chorus]

But I gotta move on, down the line,



I gotta be in the wind,

I wanna see the sun

I know I can't be still no more,

Not now the still has gone,

I can't waste no more time,

So I'll be on my way,

You know I tried real hard,

I tried so hard to stay here,



I don't know what's wrong with me

I don't know what I'm running from,

I got some other place to be,

And I'm gonna try it on

Baby please don't be cold,

You treated me real fine

You treated me like gold,



[Chorus]

But I gotta move on, down the line



Baby I gotta go, know I've got to move,

Gotta take a gamble,

Even though I'm born to lose,

I'll pass this way again,

I'll see you by and by,

I wish that I could stay,

I wish that I was lying,



You been real good to me

But it's time that I was gone,

There's things you just can't see,

And there's something going on,



Baby please don't be sad

You treated me real fine

I know I must be mad,

But I gotta move, gotta move

Move on down the line.
