Going Back to the corner
Where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag
I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard
Got your picture in my hand
Saying:
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time
I got a new job now in the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is it a God's test
Someone help us cause we're doing our best
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
Cause If one day you wake up
And find your missing me
And your heart starts to wonder
Where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here
To the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you
On the corner of the street
So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
She's in line at the dole with her head held high
While I just lost my job but I didn't lose my pride
And we both know how,
How we're going make it work when it hurts
When you pick yourself up you get kicked to the dirt
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard
Policeman says: "Son you can't stay here"
I said: "there's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground
Even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind
This is the first place she will go
Cause we're smiling but we're close to tears
Even after all these years
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time
And maybe I'll get famous
As the man who can't be moved
And maybe you wont mean to
But you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
If one day you wake up
And find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder
Where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here
To the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you
On the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, (Oh these times are hard,Yeah they're making us crazy, Don't give up on me baby)
I'm not moving
So I'm not moving, (Oh these times are hard,Yeah they're making us crazy, Don't give up on me baby)
I'm not movin
Oh these times are hard (I'm the man who can't be moved)
Yeah they're making us crazy (I'm the man who can't be moved)
Don't give up on me baby
Oh these times are hard (I'm the man who can't be moved)
Yeah they're making us crazy (I'm the man, I'm not moving)
Don't give up on me baby
