When I was a little boy, I felt so alone
|
Quiet country house that I had to call home
|
Living with a couple of folks, rich millionaires
|
Sat on their money; Lord, it seems they didn't care
|
|
Finally we moved to our own place
|
where I could walk around with a smile on my face,
|
and I knew in order to be a man
|
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
|
Came to a school in the big city
|
Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty
|
They told me and teached me to live by their rules
|
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
|
|
I found out, not too long
|
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
|
I knew in order to be a man
|
I had to pull up my roots once again and move on in this land
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
|
Then I joined the college ranks
|
There they said they'd teach me how to think
|
They gave me books to read and papers to write
|
They didn't know about this boy's coming fight
|
|
But I found out after awhile
|
reading those books was making me lose my smile
|
I knew in order to not conceal
|
I had to play music and express what I feel
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
I'm gonna move away from here
|
You can find me if you wanna go there
|
