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 feelI'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 |
