Major Moves
Hank Williams Jr. · The Complete Hank Williams Jr. [1999]
And I left my country home.
I learned to survive and I got street-wise
But I couldn't tell for how long.
Then I met you where they sing the blues,
Downtown a few months ago.
And you taught me it's still good to believe in love
And I love you so.
I'm makin' some major moves,
Oh city girl, to get to you.
I'm makin' some major moves,
Oh darlin. Major moves just for you.
I sold some things and I bought a ring,
And I've been married before one time.
And this major move just goes to prove
Like they say love is really blind.
Yes I've made a change
And there ain't no one to blame
But me if things don't work out right.
And they just might work out 'cause all I think about
Is that city girl and country boy tonight.
I'm makin' some major moves,
Oh city girl, just for you.
I'm makin' some major moves,
Oh darlin. Major moves to get to you.
I'm makin' some major moves.
Oh darlin' just to get with you.
I'm makin' some major moves,
Oh baby. Major moves to get to you.
Major moves all for you.
