Lyrics
MOVE ALONG HARD TIME
My landlord says it’s time to go,
Better pack your stuff up this house done been sold
You got to move along, move along, make yourself disappear,
Move along, move along, get out of here.
Don’t mean nothin’, it’s all in the lease,
Should have been more ready for this catch and release,
They’re unhooking me, unhooking me, setting me free.
They’re throwing me, throwing me back in the stream.
My girlfriend, no, she don’t exist,
But I hear her voice on every woman’s lips.
Yes, I talk to her, talk to her every single day.
Now, I’m begging you, darling please, point out the way.
Did my dishes, put them in a box,
Got to move along before they change the locks,
I’ve got to move along, move along, make myself disappear,
Move along, move along, get out of here.
My car’s old, but it runs just fine,
It’s the only place that I can call mine,
I guess I’ll sleep in there, sleep in there until I find my way,
In the parking lot, parking lot, by the loading dock
until the break of day
I got a job and it don’t pay that well
But it’s better than begging or stealing from the till.
I’m an honest man, honest man, honestly feels like a crime.
Yeah, I’m catching up, paying up feels like
I’m doing some hard time (x2)
