Well my mama she done told me
Papa done told me
Papa told me too
Well my mama she done told me
Papa done told me
Papa told me too
It really makes no difference in what you say and do
So I packed up my suitcase
Moved on down, moved on down the line
So I packed up my suitcase
Hit that highway
Could not save a dime
I gotta keep on moving cause I keep on wasting time
Well my mama she done told me
Papa done told me
Papa told me too
Well my mama she done told me
Papa done told me
Papa told me too
It really makes no difference in what you say and do
So I packed up my suitcase
Moved on down, could not save a dime
So I packed up my suitcase
Hit that highway
Could not save a dime
You gotta keep on movin' cause you keep on wasting time
