How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too) Songtext
von Ry Cooder

How can you keep on movin′ unless you migrate too?
They tell ya to keep on movin', but migrate you must not do
The only reason for movin′, and the reason why I roam
To move to a new location and find myself a home

I can't go back to the homestead, the shack no longer stands
They said I was unneeded, had no claim to the land
They said, "Come on, get movin', it′s the only thing for you"
But how can you keep movin′ unless you migrate too?


Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway
The Board of Sanitation says, "Sorry, you can't stay"
"Come on, come on get movin′"
It's their everlasting cry
Can′t stay, can't go back, you can′t migrate
So where in the hell am I?

How can you keep on movin' unless you migrate too?
They tell ya to keep on movin', but migrate you must not do
The only reason for movin′, and the reason why I roam
Is to move to a new location and find myself a home
