I Gotta Move - Tim O'Brien

It takes a lot of work to put your home place up for sale

Fix everything that’s broken, stop the paper and the mail

I’m lookin for a smaller place, it won’t be hard to find

But anything that doesn’t fit I have to leave behind

I’ve gotta move that’s all I know

Floor to ceiling, wall to wall, everything must go

Out the door into the van

It’s sad, it’s true I gotta move, but I don’t think I can

I guess one way that I can start is sort stuff into piles

What I’ll keep and what I’ll toss it’s gonna take a while

I have a piano and a dog out in the yard

He loves this place, what can I say, he’s takin this real hard

I’ve got a lot of pictures to take down off the wall

Pack them into boxes, memories and all

I helped her find a new place, it’s fixed up pretty well

I think she’s ok with that sometimes it’s hard to tell
