Movin' Through America Songtext
von Steve Forbert

Movin, movin, movin,
I aint got time to stop
Movin, movin, movin,
I aint 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 let the locomotive take me somewhere back in time
And move
Through America,
America,
Feel the heartland flow.

Movin′, movin', movin,
I aint got time to stop
Movin, movin', movin′,
I aint got time to stop now.

Madison, Wisconsin is a town of glowin′ 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.
