Gonna Move Lyrics - Live At The Georgia Theatre - The Derek Trucks Band

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
