I was born by the river, just like this river I've been moving ever since Ain't got no body to call my own you know I've been moving since the day I was born Life is a game just made for fun, I don't need no body No, I don't love no one Yes, I'm a mover baby Now get out of my way will ya? Don't try to stop me now Following the footpath one fine day When I asked a wise man which was the way He said "follow you heart and look for yourself And come back and tell me what you have learned" Yes, I'm a mover Went back and told him I'd found me a wife Eleven children and a real good life Told him I'd left this happy home 'cause I need to return to the long winding road Yes, I'm a mover
