Lyrics
Movin' On
(Intro)
I. When you hear them dishes rattle. Dumb ass, she's gettin' madder.
'Cause she didn't wanna do 'em in th' first place.
Turn th' TV up a little louder. Spill another beer in th' recliner.
Cut a fart and blame it on th' dog.
(Chorus)
She's thinkin' while he's drinkin' why she ever married him.
His daddy was a banker with a big yacht. Her mama was a social climbin' bi-ach.
Country clubs and spring cotillions. True love's worth more than millions.
So, she's packin' up and movin' on.
(Turnaround)
II. She left and he said, "Good luck." Took their beat-up Chevy pick-up.
He's on th' phone to place a bet on a horse race.
His daddy wanted to be prouder. Her mama shoulda let love find her.
Now their kids are swimmin' for their lives.
(Chorus)
She's thinkin' while he's drinkin' why she ever married him.
His daddy was a banker with a big yacht. Her mama was a social climbin' bi-ach.
Country clubs and spring cotillions. True love's worth more than millions.
So, she's packin' up and movin' on.
(Turnaround)
III. Got a call from her first boyfriend. He's wishin' she still loves him.
He carries her diamond ring in th' ring case.
She was lost, but now he found her. His hopes couldn't be much higher.
Just say, yes, and things will be alright.
(Bridge) Back in th' trailer park. He's sittin' in th' dark.
What a sad, sad, life. He didn't want this wife.
(Chorus)
He's thinkin' while he's drinkin' why he ever married her.
His daddy was a banker with a big yacht. Her mama was a social climbin' bi-ach.
Country clubs and spring cotillions. True love's worth more than millions
So, he's packin' up and movin' on.
They're packin' up and movin' on.
(Turnaround)
(Tag) You gotta know when it's over. Sometimes it's over before it's begun.
Movin' on. Movin' on. Movin' on.
