How can you keep on movin' unless you migrate too?

Settle down (6x)
(Then repeat lines 3 and 4)
My momma she told me when I was five years old
You’ve got to be a rounder, gosh darn your hard luck soul

I’m leavin', I’m leavin', you cannot make me stay
The more that you holler, the more I’m goin' away
