How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too.
They tell ya to keep on movin but migrate you must not do
The only reason for movin and the reason why I roam
to move to a new location and find myself a home


I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands.
They said I wasn't needed had no claim to the land.
They said come on get movin is the only thing for you,
but how can you keep movin unless you migrate too.

Now if you pitch a little tent along the broad highway
the poor of sin and patience says sorry you can't stay.
Come on, come on, get movin it's the everlasting cry
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate so where'n the hell am I?

How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too.
They tell ya to keep on movin but migrate you must not do
The only reason for movin and the reason why I roam
is to move to a new location and find myself a home.
