Movin’ On
Ned Hill

The rebel moon hangs low tonight
Holding on with all its might
Trying to keep the dawn at bay

The flag is raised for all to see her
As they applaud the bootleg preacher
Spewing out his bitter rage

And they say-our heritage will keep us
As the gospel choir cries out to Jesus

An ol’ southern drawl is nice to meet
Molasses slow and sticky sweet
Take you to the movies and home by ten

But a good ol’ boy can turn away
When the winds of change blows in his face
And harken back to where we’ve been

So round up your sacred cows
We’ve come too far to turn back now
Gotta keep on movin’ on
Gotta keep on movin’ on

Love your brother and praise the teacher
But don’t lay down with no bootleg preacher

Plant the rows in the summer sweat
Swing that hammer till there’s nothing left
Come Friday night get drunk as hell

This old world just keeps on turning
Shaking off the ashes burning
From Birmingham to Charlottesville

Please excuse a restless nation
But the train’s about to leave the station
Gotta keep on movin’ on
Gotta keep on movin’ on
