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
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
But I gotta move on, down the line

I gotta be in the wind
I want to 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
But I gotta move on, down the line

Baby I gotta go
Swear I've got to move
Gotta take a gamble
Even though I'm born to lose
I'll pass this way again
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, I gotta move
Move on down the line
