Movin The Country

Well a long time ago when I left home
 I never thought I would be
 Part of a wheel in a cog on a belt
 That turned the big machine
 I wanted out on the road or down on the street
 Or something wild and free
 But now I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
 In Nashville, Tennessee
 They promise you this, they promise you that
 You never know what to believe
 All I want is to live the good life
 That someone promised me
 You try to be honest, you try to be fair
 But the blame is always on me
 'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
 In Nashville, Tennessee
 Long black shadow reachin' way too far
 Crampin' everybody's style
 Everybody here gets to be a star
 When the lights go out you're still on trial
 No matter where I go or what I do
 It never seems good enough
 All I know is if it don't kill me
 It's gonna make me tough
 Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks
 And grease up that machine
 But I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
 In Nashville, Tennessee
 Well no matter where I go or what I do
 It never seems good enough
 All I know is if it don't kill me
 It's gonna make me tough
 Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks
 And grease up that machine
 'Cause I'm payin' the bills and movin' the country
 In Nashville, Tennessee
 And move on
 Move on
 And move on
 Move on
