I knew a boy in Reno had a cherry El Camino
And a weakness for a certain cowgirl kind
He saved up for a ring, but I was scared of shiny things
So I left a note and dropped him on a dime

Yeah, I gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep groovin'
Let that song that's in my soul
Carry me on down the road
I gotta keep goin'
Till the going's gone
Till it's gone, gone, gone

I took a job in Saginaw, I thought that I would love it, y'all
I miss that southern drawl in Abilene
I gathered up my pocket change and hit a couple Motel 8s
Kept myself awake with nicotine

Yeah, I gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep groovin'
Let that song that's in my soul
Carry me on down the road
I gotta keep goin'
Till the going's gone
Till it's gone, gone, gone

Sometimes your tires are in the mud, sometimes your cards run out of luck
Honey, you don't have to live this way
Just find another exit and learn another lesson
That's why the good Lord made the interstate

Yeah, I gotta keep movin'
Gotta keep groovin'
Let that song that's in my soul
Carry me on down the road
I gotta keep goin'
Till the going's gone
Till it's gone, gone, gone

Till it's gone, gone, gone
I gotta keep movin'
