Movin' The Country Lyrics - Singles - Br5-49

Well a long time ago when I left home 

I never thought I would be 

Part of a wheel in a cog on a belt 

That turned the big machine 

I wanted out on the road or down on the street 

Or something wild and free 

But now I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country 

In Nashville, Tennessee 

They promise you this, they promise you that 

You never know what to believe 

All I want is to live the good life 

That someone promised me 

You try to be honest, you try to be fair 

But the blame is always on me 

'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country 

In Nashville, Tennessee 

Long black shadow reachin' way too far 

Crampin' everybody's style 

Everybody here gets to be a star 

When the lights go out you're still on trial 

No matter where I go or what I do 

It never seems good enough 

All I know is if it don't kill me 

It's gonna make me tough 

Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks 

And grease up that machine 

But I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country 

In Nashville, Tennessee 

Well no matter where I go or what I do 

It never seems good enough 

All I know is if it don't kill me 

It's gonna make me tough 

Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks 

And grease up that machine 

'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country 

In Nashville, Tennessee 

And move on 

Move on 

And move on 

Move on
