Lyrics
I Gotta Move On
(Chris Ising/Laurie Williams)
A cold wind blowing behind me
And the unknown out there to come
Are old friends better than new ones
Should I stay here or should I run
I'm bad and hurt those around me
I'm too good at breaking hearts
Now the past has come back to haunt me
I don't know where the end starts
What have I become Lord which way do I go
I can't make it good how would I even know
I dug my own grave now it's time to own
The evil inside me that chills to the bone
I guess I gotta move on
I guess it's to be gone
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
The little voice in my head keeps tellin' me
Everything I do is so wrong
But another voice drowns out that sound
With its own wild siren song
Guess I'll drift on to another town
Where aint nobody knows my name
But the devil he keeps whisperin'
Anywhere will be the same
What have I become Lord which way do I go
I can't make it good how would I even know
I dug my own grave now it's time to own
The evil inside me that chills to the bone
I guess I gotta move on
I guess it's to be gone
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
I gotta move on

What have I become Lord which way do I go
I can't make it good how would I even know
I dug my own grave now it's time to own
The evil inside me that chills to the bone
I guess I gotta move on
I guess it's to be gone
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
I gotta move on
