Lyrics
Verse 1
Got me a BA, 20 grand
Paid it back, as an Admin
Savvy with the keys, self-taught made a
Database, web page, org chart
Pre-chorus
A little over three years
Typin' 60 words a minute
Something changed around me
Inner voice is whisperin'
Chorus
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Spread those wings, fly again
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Leavin' and my heart is breakin'
I know where I'm goin'
I know where I've been
I'm takin' all my wisdom with me
Never give up, never quit
This is my life
I gotta live it, I gotta live it
Verse 2
Used to wear skirts and glasses
Traded it for jeans, new office
Good gig, paid bills and some
Meetings at the restaurant, they were fun
Pre-chorus
My job ended suddenly
It happened on a Friday
Something changed around me
Inner voice is whisperin'
Chorus
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Spread those wings, fly again
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Leavin' and my heart is breakin'
I know where I'm goin'
I know where I've been
I'm takin' all my wisdom with me
Never give up, never quit
This is my life
I gotta live it
Bridge
Every night I say the words (Don't wanna let go)
Look around, it's not the same (As I imagine it so)
Everything is out of control
Is the door to my future, open?
Verse 3
They cut jobs, the other day
More are gone at the factory
Not a whole lot goin' on in this town
Housing market went down
Pre-chorus
Temp job, underpaid
Boss talks in a cold way
Something changed around me
Inner voice is whispherin'
Chorus
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Spread those wings, fly again
Gotta move on...yeah (yeah)
Leavin' and my heart is breakin'
I know where I'm goin'
I know where I've been
I'm takin' all my wisdom with me
Never give up, never quit
This is my life
I gotta live it, I gotta live it
