Gotta Keep Moving Lyrics

Gotta keep moving,
Gotta keep moving,
Gotta keep moving with a troubled mind a followin'.

Call me when I'm far away,
Call me when I'm far away,
Call me when I'm far away
Now come on baby make me stay.

Can't sleep here in this cold bed,
I can't sleep in this cold bed,
I can't sleep in this cold bed
Yeah, just roll your eyes and turn your head.

A single shot rang in the street,
A single shot rang in the street,
A single shot rang in the street and we sat down to eat.

Gotta keep moving,
Gotta keep moving,
Gotta keep moving with a troubled mind a followin'.

Tonight I'm gonna leave this place,
Tonight I'm gonna leave this place,
Tonight I'm gonna leave this place,
Memory better serves your pretty, pretty face

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A very simple one or two riff song that could possibly be about Mason's eagerness to tour, or it can be about running away from a troubled relationship.
