Gotta Keep Moving
Kellie Pickler · Small Town Girl [2006]
I gotta keep moving
Nothin's gonna slow me down
I'm countin on these restless wheels
To get me back to my hometown
I gotta keep moving
I don't wanna miss a thing
I'm doing everything I can
I'm getting back from where I've been
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
I gotta keep moving
With the white lines on the highway
Watchin' every mile go by
The silos and the by-ways
Gotta keep moving
Cause it's been way too long
I know I'm getting closer now
I'm finally gonna make it home
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
Pretty soon we'll be slow dancing, yeah
You and I, rock and roll babe
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
Nothin's gonna slow me down
I'm countin on these restless wheels
To get me back to my hometown
I gotta keep moving
I don't wanna miss a thing
I'm doing everything I can
I'm getting back from where I've been
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
Finally just the two of us
In our old jeans and our hair messed up
I can't wait to see you
I gotta keep moving
With the white lines on the highway
Watchin' every mile go by
The silos and the by-ways
Gotta keep moving
Cause it's been way too long
I know I'm getting closer now
I'm finally gonna make it home
I, I can't wait to see you
Workin on that pickup truck
All covered in oil and dust
I, I can't wait to be with you
