I was born by the river, just like this river I've been moving ever since Ain't got nobody to call my own You know I've been moving since the day I was born Life is a game just made for fun You know I don't love nobody, I don't love no one Yes, I'm a mover, baby Following the footsteps; One fine day when I asked the wise man which was the way he said: "Follow your heart and look for yourself and come back and tell me what you have learned" Yes, I'm a mover, baby Went back and told him, I found me a wife Eleven children and a real good life Told him of love and there's a happy home But I need to return to that long winding road Yes, I'm a mover, baby Gotta move on down Mmmmove on
