When I was a little boy felt so alone
|
Just a quiet country house I had to call home
|
Live with some other folks and rich millionaires
|
Just sat on their money lord, it seemed they didn't care
|
|
Finally we moved out and found our own place
|
Where I could walk around with a smile on my face
|
But I knew in order to become a man
|
I'd have to pull up my roots and move on in this land
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
|
I came to school in the big city
|
Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty
|
Told me they'd teach me to live by their rules
|
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
|
|
I found out, 'fore too long
|
Those rules didn't allow me to sing my song
|
But I knew in order to become a man
|
I have to pull up my roots and move on in this land
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
|
And finally I joined the college ranks
|
They told me they'd teach me how to think
|
Gave me books to read and papers to write
|
But they didn't know about this boy's coming fight
|
|
I found out after a while
|
Reading those books was not helping my smile
|
But I knew in order to not conceal
|
I'd have to play my music and express what I feel
|
|
I've gotta move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you want to go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here yeah
|
You can find me if you want to go, oh ya wanna go
|
