On The Move Lyrics - Red Room - The Shadowboxers

Johnny was a slow mover 

Took him time to come around 

But when he did he was hot on the trail 

Of the thing that moved him so 

He made all his money 

In Nashville, Tennessee 

Where he'd hang his hat till the day he died 

Cause he loves the life he leads 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

And he kept close his information 

And he seldom paid it company 

Though his nine to five only magnified 

All his careful tendencies

And it's true he knew a lot of women 

And he called them up from time to time 

But the picture frame at the foot of his bed 

Never saw his guard unwind 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

Now one day he met a lady 

On West End Avenue 

She asked his name with a smile and a gaze 

That broke him into two 

She asked him if he was hungry 

And he tried to keep his cool 

Though he took his time with his food and wine 

He was feeling something new

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

They made love till the morning 

When she said she had to leave 

She hopped on a plane to Santa Fe 

And he questioned his philosophy 

Now Johnny was a slow mover 

But when he did come around 

He left behind his careful mind 

For the girl who moved him so 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

He's on the move 

Lie-da-die... 

But she left too soon 

Lie-da-die... 

Lie-da-die... 

Lie-da-die... 

Whoa, oh lie-da-die... 

Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, oh lie-da-die... 

Whoa, whoa, whoa
