David Nelson Band - Movin' Right Along Lyrics

I was born on Canaan's shore, movin right along
Loaded my gun and went to war, movin right along
I shot left and I shot right, now listen to my song
I have lost the appetite, movin right along

Movin right along now, movin right along
Right - or - wrong I'm movin right along

I died in a picket line, the union must be strong
I died in a coal mine, movin right along
Layed my life down for a cause, now listen to my song
Fighting for and 'gainst the laws, movin right along

Movin right along now, movin right along
Right - or - wrong I'm movin right along

I have died for liberty, fought heavy hard and long
I have died in poverty, moving right along
I'm about to blow this joint so listen to my song
I have died to prove a point, moving right along

I have died by God's command,
My faith was just that strong.
Died protecting contraband, movin right along
Died for reasons high and low, now listen to my song
When it's time to die I go, moving right along

Mine eyes have seen the glory
And my feet have hit the road
My ears have heard the story
And my back has borne the load
My hand has waved the sabre
My neck has stretched the rope
You profit from my labor
While I feed my kids on hope

I have died in vain at times, sing all the whole night long
For theft of bread and other crimes, movin right along
When the wind blows from the hill just listen to my song
Borne upon the evening chill, movin right along
