I may be right or wrong
The story’s in my song
It sure seems like we’ve come a long, long way
We’ve been through so many changes
All along the way
Maybe that’s the reason we’re here today

Movin’ on (movin’ on)
Movin’ on (movin’ on)
Every day
(Movin’ on) movin’ on
Movin’ on tomorrow is another day

Our problems have disappeared,
Vanished one by one
We’ve got to keep movin until we’re done
This band is on the loose, runnin’ ‘cross the land
So try to make the most of a one-night-stand
We’re movin’ on

(Movin’ on) movin’ on
(Movin’ on)
Every day, yeah
(Movin’ on) movin’ on
Movin’ on tomorrow is another day

On and on and on
You got to keep on movin’
On and on and on
Movin’ every day
We got to keep on movin’
We’re movin’ on

(Movin’ on) movin’ on
(Movin’ on)
Every day, yeah
(Movin’ on) movin’ on
Movin’ on and on…

It’s the same old story
All over again
You turn a lover into just a another friend
I want to love you; I want to make you mine
Won’t you, lay it on the line

I’m tired of playing your foolish games
I’m tired of all your lies, making me insane
I don’t ask for much
The truth will do just fine
Won’t you lay it on the line?

Chorus
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line
Don’t waste my time

You’ve got no right
To make me wait
We better talk girl
Before it gets too late
I never ever thought you could be so unkind
Won’t you lay it on the line

Chorus

You know I love you (You know I love you)
You know it’s true (You know it’s true)
It’s up to you girl, now what’ve I got to do
Don’t hold me up girl,
Don’t waste my precious time
Won’t you, late it on the line

Lay it on the line
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line)
Lay it on the line (Don’t hold me up girl)
Lay it on the line (No)
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line girl)
Lay it on the line
No don’t hold me up
Lay it on the line (Lay it on the line) …

I’ve known a lot of women baby
I’ve even loved a few
Some were good and some were bad
No one was just like you
Now they say I’m too old
To get hurt in love
That ain’t true
‘cause girl when you left me
You broke my heart right in two
Right in two

Chorus
I’m too old to get hurt baby
I’m too old to get hurt baby
I’m too old to get hurt baby
I’m too old to get hurt baby
Oh but I’m young enough, young enough to cry

Now my head is spinning baby,
Just like a Ferris wheel
Don’t know what’s the matter baby,
I just know how I feel
At night when I’m dreamin baby, I think I see
A girl so sad and alone
Can she be crying, just like me?
Oh just like me

Chorus

No matter how hard I try
I can’t shake it baby
My mind keeps drifting away
You couldn’t see a good thing
When you had it your hand, girl
Maybe it was meant to be another day

Are you sure I’m the heartless one, woman
After all we’ve been through
I gave you the best of my love
And sweet hoochie-koo
They say I’m too old to get hurt in love
Do you still think that’s true
Cuz girl when you left me,
You broke my heart right in two
Right in two

Chorus

I’m crying girl
Said I’m young enough to cry
Oh I’m crying babe
So many times I tried to tell you girl
Tried to tell you that I want you,
That I love you, yes I do
You got me crying for you baby
For you baby, for you baby, Oh yeah

I know how to treat a lady
Who knows how to treat her man
I’ve been in love one or two times
I made out the best that I can
I’ve been all around the world and back
And here is what I got to say
The ladies I love are livin in the U.S.A.

Know I’m talking about American girls
They got what I need
American girls that’s what I want
American girls
There ain’t no better, boy, and that’s no lie

She takes you home to meet her daddy
He looks you right in the eye
He says now tell me your intensions, boy
You make your reply
I’m a man of honour, my thoughts are pure
And you can bet your life
I won’t even kiss her, unless I’m gonna make her my wife

Oh, I’m talking about American girls
They got what I need
American girls, what I want
American girls

I’m talking about American girls
Said I need
What I want American girls
The ladies I love are in the U.S.A
I want those American girls
Got to have those American girls
Yea I love those American girls
(American girls), American girls
(American girls), my kind of girl
(American girls), you got what I need
(American girls), yea American girls
(American girls), got what I want
(American girls), American girls yeah
(American girls), got what I need I said

Wizards of a modern age
Cast spells of electric power
But the corporate string that make them dance
Lead up to an ivory tower
There sits the fates in solitude
Far from the public eye
No one ever sees them smile
And nothing makes them cry

Welcome to the kingdom,
The land of bought and sold
A world of real-life fantasy
Where truths are seldom told
Try hard to remember
All that glitter is not gold
You can pay the piper,
But you cannot buy his soul

Chorus
It’s just a game, you’re in it all the way
It’s just a game, don’t let yourself slip away
It’s such a shame, I heard somebody say
It’s just a game and all I can do…is play
(All I can do is play) x2

What do you choose now, what do you believe now?
Who are you going to trust?
All your dreams and fancy schemes just crumble into dust
Calm and cool and computerized,
They calculate and collect
We wait and watch and wonder
Just which puppet they’ll select

Like the moth too near the flame
Who learned his truth too late
We’re all too deep into the game
That is the master our fate

The poets and the pipers have got their motives
And you’ve got yours, no doubt
And so the game continues
That’s what it’s about

Chorus
(All I can do is play) x4

Music holds the secret
To know what can make you whole
It’s not just a game of notes
It’s the sounds inside your soul
The magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head like a dream

I sing this song for the common man
And for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world
And I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here
For everyone to share
So hold on, and I will take you there
Hold on, and I will take you there

The daily routine takes your soul
Lost without a trace
It holds you down, and turns you round
And puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar, another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself in the endless race

Chorus
Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart, and hold on to your dreams

Can’t you feel the magic, feel it everywhere
Can’t you hear the music, there’s something in the air
There’s a celebration, deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling, you know it can’t be wrong

Chorus
Hold On x4

Caught up in the routine, you’ve got to break it
Time won’t wait for us, we got to make it
Fate gives you the chance
You got to take it, take it,

Hold on x6

It’s four in the morning, there’s not a soul around
This dirty hotel room has really got me down
A modern day minstrel, they got my name in lights
I wish these days of glamour didn’t
Have these lonely nights
I’m on the road to fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I guess I’m making payments for the dues that must be paid
I cash another song
Into this endless masquerade
Halfway through the circuit and headed for the coast
Been gone so long I can’t remember
What I miss the most, ah
But me and Johnny Walker, and the comfort that he brings
Waitin on the telephone that never, ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune,
And I got the suitcase blues real bad
I got the blues and I got them really bad
The suitcase blues are the worst I ever had
All by my lonesome and halfway ‘round the bend
I don’t mind drinkin’ solo but I sure could use a friend

Me and Johnny Walker and the comfort that he brings
Waitin’ on the telephone that never, ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune,
And I got the suitcase blues real bad
