All the highway signs are gone now

It's just two lanes of blacktop ahead

I started out looking for something never knew what it was

I figured if I could just keep on movin'

I'd find it over the next hill

I thought that the end of the rainbow would be there still

Now the lights of the city behind me

It’s just me and the radio now

Darkness is fallin' the headlights are lightin' my way

And maybe I missed my turning

Maybe it's around the next bend

I know I gotta keep on movin' till I get to the end

Now this road seems to go on forever

But I gotta find out where it goes

I put so many miles behind me

Maybe I’m just headed back home

Instrumental

Now this road seems to go on forever

But I gotta find out where it goes

I put so many miles behind me

Maybe I’m just headed back home

Cantinas filled with women and songs

I thought that they would never end

But the laughter gradually faded away on the wind

Did I leave something back three behind me?

Well, there’s nothing in the mirror to see

And telephone poles don’t offer much company

I know I gotta keep on movin’ till I hit the end

The road is gonna look much better around the next bend

I’ll find what I was lookin’ for when I get to the end

Well, I’m movin’, I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on

Movin’, I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on

Well, I’m movin’, movin’, movin’, movin’, movin’ on

Well, I’m movin’ on
