1.

Well, I’ve hung around this dirty old town too long.

I lost my job, and my woman got tired and now she’s gone.

Well, my back it hurts and my feet are sore,

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’m outa work and my woman she’s long gone,
  A7
And this dirty old town is really gettin’ me down,

I really think, it’s time that I was movin’ on.

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
