When I was a little girl, I felt so alone
Quiet country house that I had to call home
Living with a couple of folks, rich millionaires
Sat on their money; Lord, it seems they didn't care
Finally we moved to our own place
where I can 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 wanna go there
Oh, I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Went to school in the big city
I 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 land
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, yes, now
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Then I joined the college ranks
There they said they'd teach me how to think
They gave me books to read and papers to write
They didn't know that this girl's come to fight
I found out after awhile
reading them books was making me lose my smile
I knew in order not to conceal
I had to play music and express what I feel
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
Oh, I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
