The Derek Trucks Band - Gonna Move lyrics

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
