Lyrics
A simple man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A simple man
Just move from New York City
A simple life
Never made it
With iron sides
A black hat
And a mood that matches
A simple man
On the level
He placed a bet and lost it
Not one to pay so he cocked it
But missed the mark, his girl got hit
Didn't live through the night, that's when he lost it
That's when he lost it.
Keep moving, Keep moving on (x6)
There's hell to pay
Why not buy off the devil
No turning back
Keep moving on
On the day that the bank got held up
Two men, two guns and no luck
Never wrong when you're in the right
Bet black, see white
Keep moving, Keep moving on (x6)
(chorus)
No turning back
No holding on
Nothing to see
Keep moving on
Keep moving on
An empty heart's
An empty box
Far from me
But not my thoughts
Keep moving, Keep moving on (x6)
(chorus)
