- in memory of Willie King

Gotta move on

I gotta move right on

I gotta move on ‘cause

I got the move-on blues

Get up off the couch

off the soft sofa

I gotta get up with

the move-on blues

Put on my shoes

I say—tie up my shoes

my blue and white Adidas help

my move-on blues

Walk out the door

walk down the road

my feet beat time with

the move-on blues
