How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too)

Ry Cooder

How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too 
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do 
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam 
To move to a new lo cation and find myself a home 

I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands 
They said I was uneeded, had no claim to the land 
They said, "Come on, get moving, it's the only thing for you" 
But how can you keep moving unless you migrate too 

Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway 
The Board of Sanitation says, "Sorry, you can't stay" 
Come on, come on, get moving it's their everlasting cry 
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate, so where the hell am I 

How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too 
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do 
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam 
To move to a new location and find myself a home
