When I was a little girl I felt so alone

Quiet country house I had to call home

Living with a couple folks, rich millionaires

Sat on their money Lord it seems they didn't care



Finally we moved to our own place

Where I could walk around with a smile on my face

And i knew in order to make a stand

I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land



I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there



Came to a school in the big city

Looked around at the lights and I thought they were pretty

They told me and teached me to live by their rules

So I wouldn't be nobody's fool



I found out, not too long

Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song

I knew in order to make a stand

I had to pull up my roots and move on in this



I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there



Solo



I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there



Then I joined the college ranks

There they said they'd teach me how to think

Gave me books to read and papers to write

They didn't know that this girl's come to fight



But I found out after awhile

Reading those books was making me loose my smile

I knew in order to not conceal

I had to play music and express what I feel



I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there

I'm gonna move away from here

You can find me if you want to go there



I'm gonna move away from
