Bill Staines - Moving It Down The Line lyrics

When you're moving it down the line You either travel light, or leave a lot behind You're just breezin' through, buddy buddy just breezin' through You run a lot of roads, see a lot of towns Some'll bring you up, some'll bring you down But you see it all when you're movin' it down the line When you're moving it down the line You meet a friend or two, you leave a friend behind That's the way it goes, buddy buddy that's the way it goes Looking for the music up over the hill Feeling like you're nothin' but standing still That's the way of things when you're moving it down the line You got a one armed bandit upon your back Says drop another year and I'll pay you back But those old triple-sevens never ever seem to come your way From the second floor window of an old old hotel You hear the early morning traffic and the village bell And you find yourself singing like a sparrow at the break of day
