Intro: G D G D A

Bm                  G
I took a walk in the Texas rain,
     D
down Brentfield Lane
        A
just to see what I could find.
Bm                    G
Memories flood like a crowded train
          D
where the tracks remain,
   A
But the people all have changed.
They say,

Bm      G
Oh my, gotta keep movin on.
D          A
Oh my, my, gotta keep movin on.
Bm     G
Oh my, gotta keep movin,
D
gotta keep movin
A                G
gotta keep movin on.

( G D G D A )

On Fifth and Main there's a big parade
where the children play
and take their youth for granted.
The people pass, and the very last
Stood on stilts with their stove-top hats
They sang,

Oh my, gotta keep movin on.
Oh my, my, gotta keep movin on.
Oh my, gotta keep movin,
gotta keep movin
gotta keep movin on.

Bm      D      G
Why not take me?
You could save me.
Why not take me?
Bm                A                 G
What is this that makes us feel alone
What is this that makes us feel alone
What is this that makes us
G
You could save me.

( G D G D A )

Bm             G
I begin to run through the Texas rain
        D
I try to catch that train,
      A
But I can't forget you.
Bm                   G
And I'm too old for a slow parade,
 D                   A
I think it's time to go my own way.

Bm      G
Oh my, gotta keep movin on.
D          A
Oh my, my, gotta keep movin on.
Bm     G
Oh my, gotta keep movin,
D
gotta keep movin
A                G
gotta keep movin on.
