Simply Must Move On - Steve Forbert

High school weren’t that bad

Some of it was fun

The jazz band got to swing, yeah

The track team got to run

But all that’s in the past

And summer’s come and gone

It’s off to college now

You simply must move on

Gotta move on to another kinda time and space

Gotta move on in the ever running human race

Gotta move on, on the whistle blower starts to blow

Go

Your marriage could not last

A meltdown to divorce

The whole things over now

It’s over yes of course

You stand out on the street

The whole lawn’s overgrown

You look suspicious here

You simply must move on

Gotta move on to another kinda time and space

Gotta move on in the ever running human race

Gotta move on, on the whistle blower starts to blow

Go

Your home’s a lovely place

You love it goodness knows

The perfect part of town

It’s value only grows

But now it’s grown too much

The taxes here alone

You can’t afford to stay

You simply must move on

Gotta move on to another kinda time and space

Gotta move on in the ever running human race

Gotta move on, on the whistle blower starts to blow

Go

The ceiling’s squiggly here

They move ya somewheres else

Your mind keeps shifting gears

Your kids are on themselves

Your next moves off the map

Beyond the twilight zone

You can’t stay one more day

You simply must move on

Gotta move on to another kinda time and space

Gotta move on in the ever running human race

Gotta move on for the whistle just about to blow

Go

Go

Go

Go
