I was born by the river, just like this river,
I've been moving ever since
ain't got no body to call my own you know
I've been moving since the day I was born
life is a game just made for fun, I don't need no body
no, I don't love no one
yes, I'm a mover baby
now get out of my way will ya?
don't try to stop me now
Following the footpath one fine day,
when I asked a wise man which was the way,
he said "follow you heart and look for yourself,
and come back and tell me what you have learned".
yes, I'm a mover.
Went back and told him I'd found me a wife,
eleven children and a real good life,
told him I'd left this happy home,
'cause I need to return to the long winding road
yes, I'm a mover
