Movin' Out
Aerosmith
~~*~~
We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin', all we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in
Tell me who you know, and I'll tell ya who to
Go see my friend he'll set you free
Tell me what you need and maybe I can go too
No one knows the way but maybe me
Nobody goes there, nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me
Good mornin' glory! Allelujah to ya!
What's the story?
And what's been goin' through ya?
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin like a dog in a rock and roll band
We're movin'--we're gettin' out
We're movin', without a doubt
We're movin'--we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are
'Cause nobody goes there, nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me
Nobody knows there, nobody shows there
Nobody knows where you can find me
Level with God and you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself and you'll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above 'cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time will take you where you wanna go
Yeah ... where you wanna go
Where ya wanna go
Where ya goin'?
Where ya goin'?
Where ya goin'?
Good mornin' glory! Allelujah to ya!
What's the story?
And what's been goin' through ya?
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock and roll band
We're movin', we're getting out
We're movin', without a doubt
We're movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are
Nobody knows where, nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me
Nobody knows where, nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me
Well down and down round and round and better catch your mama
so you know nowhere i'm goin'
We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a' comin', all we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move it out 'cause the city's movin' in

No one in rock n' roll puts the gr in gritty like Aerosmith.
Modern-day metal bands can only wish to sound this badass.
Some come close; but no one has succeeded.
I have been a fan of this song since I was 14 clear back in 1976.
Back then I listened to it on an 8-track cassette player,
thinking that the very height of humanity's possible technical
prowess when it came to sound quality.
It was even like a boom-box; I could carry it around!
It had its own shoulder strap!
I count Aerosmith as one of my personal Kings of Rock.
I grew up listening to their debut album,
which this song is part of,
then Toys in the Attic,
and then Rocks
virtually every single day.
There are only a couple of other groups
from that time that I was so devoted to.
