Moving On
J. Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna leave this town behind.
I'll be gone before the morning,
on the other side of the mound.
That's why I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
and I'm sick of the same old names.
I'm getting bored with the same old places,
everybody starts to look the same.
That's why I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
Move it for me!
I've been tryin' to settle down here,
but my feet just won't stay still.
And I've heard that the grass is greener
on the other side of the hill.
That's why I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
Give me one more for the go!
I'm gonna leave this town tomorrow.
I'm gonna leave this place behind.
You can bet your bottom dollar,
all my troubles will be far behind.
That's why I'm moving on.
I'm moving on.
I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
Said I've been hanging around too long,
it's time I was moving on.
Get out of here!
The song "Moving On" by J. Moore is a tale of a person who has grown tired of their current surroundings and is determined to leave and start anew. They express their dissatisfaction with the people and places they have grown accustomed to and crave something new and different. The lyrics suggest that this person has been trying to settle down but cannot seem to find contentment in their current location. The theme of the song is one of self-discovery and the need to pursue change to find happiness.
The lyrics also reflect a sense of urgency to leave and start fresh. The repetition of the phrase "I'm moving on" emphasizes the decision to move, and the repetition of the phrase "I've been hanging around too long" highlights the idea that this person has been stagnant for too long. The mention of leaving before the morning and leaving all troubles behind suggests the need for a clean break and a fresh start. The chorus is catchy and inspires the listener to embrace change in their own lives.
