Lyrics
Sweet motion
come take my blues away
I'm leaving Manhattan
and driving out to L.A.
No jokin'
this actor's on the run
Its bye-bye big apple
and hello to fun, fun, fun
It's not that I've broken the law there
I'm not leaving children behind
I just wasn't getting the parts there
I just can't keep wasting my time.
Sweet motion
come take my blues away
I'[m leaving Manhattan
and travelling to L.A.
All through Oklahoma and Texas
I thought of sweet William's good-bye
Why couldn't we find that much passion?
When we had each other nearby?
Sweet motion
Just like they've always done
You pack your belongings
and ride toward the setting sun.
You roll through the past
and ride into the world to come.
