"Moving Through America" lyrics

"Moving Through America"

Movin', movin', movin'
I ain't got time to stop
Movin', movin', movin'
I ain't got time to stop now

Red Oak acorns bouncin' off the roof of my car
Yeah, I'm goin' somewhere and I'm goin' pretty far
Reynoldsburg, Ohio in the middle of the night
I shoulda left this mornin', shoulda drove it in the light
With semi trailers passin' and I'm strugglin' to keep up
An' I'll buy some time with fast food and I guess another cup

And move
Through America
America
Feel the heartland flow

Fort Wayne Indiana is a railroad junction town
You always got a freight train rumblin' somewhere close around
I lie down tryna listen with an overloaded mind
And I let the locomotive take me somewhere back in time

And move
Through America
America
Feel the heartland flow

Movin', movin', movin
I ain't got time to stop
Movin', movin', movin'
I ain't got time to stop now

Madison, Wisconsin is a town of neon signs
Glowing signs of neon sellin' liquor, beer and wine
Cocktail from the fifties with an olive in a glass
An all day long suggestion that keeps flashin' as you pass
What's made Milwaukee famous is a hit in old Green Bay
And Steven's Point, Wisconsin would agree with what you say

And move
Through America
America
Feel the heartland flow
And move
Through America
America
Feel the heartland flow
