On the Move - The Shadowboxers

Johnny was a slow mover

Took him time to come around

But when he did he was hot on the trail

Of the thing that moved him so

He made all his money

In Nashville, Tennessee

Where he’d hang his hat till the day he died

Cause he loves the life he leads

He’s on the move

Lie-da-die…

He’s on the move

Lie-da-die…

And he kept close his information

And he seldom paid it company

Though his nine to five only magnified

All his careful tendencies

And it’s true he knew a lot of women

And he called them up from time to time

But the picture frame at the foot of his bed

Never saw his guard unwind

Now one day he met a lady

On West End Avenue

She asked his name with a smile and a gaze

That broke him into two

She asked him if he was hungry

And he tried to keep his cool

Though he took his time with his food and wine

He was feeling something new

They made love till the morning

When she said she had to leave

She hopped on a plane to Santa Fe

And he questioned his philosophy

Now Johnny was a slow mover

But when he did come around

He left behind his careful mind

For the girl who moved him so

Lie-da-die…

Lie-da-die…

Whoa, oh lie-da-die…

Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, oh lie-da-die…

Whoa, whoa, whoa
