Well, I’ve hung around this dirty old town too long. | |
| A7 | ||
| I lost my job, and my woman got tired and now she’s gone. | ||
| D9 | ||
| Well, my back it hurts and my feet are sore, | ||
| A7 | ||
| I sleep on a dirty old mattress on the floor, | ||
| F#7 B7 E7 A7 D7 A7 E7 | ||
| I really think, it’s time that I was movin’ on. | ||

| Well, I really think it’s time that I was movin’ on. | ||
| D9 | ||
| Well, I’m outa work and my woman she’s long gone, | ||
| A7 | ||
| And this dirty old town is really gettin’ me down, | ||

2. |
Well, I woke up one morning, drug myself outa bed. | |
|
|
There was a cock roach in my coffee, and the whole place smelled like something dead. | |
| Well I put on my clothes, and I went for a real long walk, | ||
| To try and clear my head and find someone who would talk, | ||
| I really think, it’s time that I was movin’ on. | ||
| Chorus | ||

3. |
Well, in the summer of ‘05 I was feelin’ just barely alive. | |
| Got on board a train and went on down to New Orleans. | ||
| Then the hurricane hit, and I thought I was in deep (do-do), | ||
| I thought I would drown so I got the heck outa town, | ||
| I really thought, it was time that I was movin’ on. | ||
| Chorus | ||
