The Shadowboxers - On the Move Lyrics
Johnny was a slow moverTook him time to come aroundBut when he did he was hot on the trailOf the thing that moved him soHe made all his moneyIn Nashville, TennesseeWhere he’d hang his hat till the day he diedCause he loves the life he leadsHe’s on the moveLie-da-die…He’s on the moveLie-da-die…And he kept close his informationAnd he seldom paid it companyThough his nine to five only magnifiedAll his careful tendenciesAnd it’s true he knew a lot of womenAnd he called them up from time to timeBut the picture frame at the foot of his bedNever saw his guard unwindHe’s on the moveLie-da-die…He’s on the moveLie-da-die…Now one day he met a ladyOn West End AvenueShe asked his name with a smile and a gazeThat broke him into twoShe asked him if he was hungryAnd he tried to keep his coolThough he took his time with his food and wineHe was feeling something newHe’s on the moveLie-da-die…He’s on the moveLie-da-die…They made love till the morningWhen she said she had to leaveShe hopped on a plane to Santa FeAnd he questioned his philosophyNow Johnny was a slow moverBut when he did come aroundHe left behind his careful mindFor the girl who moved him soHe’s on the moveLie-da-die…He’s on the moveLie-da-die…He’s on the moveLie-da-die…But she left too soonLie-da-die…Lie-da-die…Lie-da-die…Whoa, oh lie-da-die…Whoa, whoa, whoa Whoa, oh lie-da-die…Whoa, whoa, whoa
