[Verse 1]
I've been in this town, I guess too long
Too many parties and too many songs
Ain't got a job ain't got no dough
The sheriff's coming so I'd better go

[Verse 2]
He let me out of jail just yesterday
Said get a job or be on my way
Working never did agree with me
It ties you down and you can't be free

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm a-gonna move on

[Verse 3]
We had a big party one Saturday night
Someone got drunk and started a fight
I got thirty days in the county jail
Didn't have money, couldn't post my bail

[Chorus]
So I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm a-gonna move on
[Verse 4]
Maybe some day I'll settle down
Find a wife and quit bumming around
But not until I do I'll be on the run
Going to parties and a-having fun

[Chorus]
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
It's been fun but I've gotta run
I'm a-gonna move on

[Outro]
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm gonna move on (I'm moving on)
I'm a-gonna move on (I'm moving on)
