Lyrics
Hey there, tree come crashing down
Please take away his pain
The need to run has overcome
It's driving his head insane
His back is breaking from his heavy load
He can't carry it on his own
No one around to help him out
He's got to move his old bones
CHORUS
He's got to keep moving down this broken road
He's tired and beaten, his body's old
Got to choose that route or so it's been told
Got to figure it out and take that broken road
The gnarled path is the one he takes
Swimming through dirty lakes
Filled with memories of his past
All of his mistakes
CHORUS
His mind's been busy watching dying trees
Each leaf a piece of his life
Yes, it's all of his memories, his dirty strife
The forest gets darker 'bout this time'
Hair so grey a modern father time
He's gonna fall, fall down at the end of his line
He's gonna fall down at the end of his line
Well he's gotta keep moving
(gotta keep moving)
He's gotta keep moving (gotta keep moving)
He's gotta keep moving down that old road
(gotta keep moving)
He's gotta keep moving (gotta keep moving)
He's gotta keep moving (gotta keep moving)
He's gonna keep moving
Yes he's gonna keep moving
