Move On
Lyrics
I found my friend cryin'
and I asked what was wrong
she said lover left her
and she couldn't go on

I said to her
Honey, if your lover's gone
Just dust off your heart
You got to move on
move on

Life hands us pain
And the best we can do
Is to get through the hurt
Til the hurting is through
love will come again
but it won't be for long
You've got to get ready
You got to move on

Saw a friend drinkin'
everything in sight
The boss laid him off
and he was lookin' to fight

I said to him
Honey, you look pretty strong
Just dust off your pride
You got to move on
Move on

Life hands us pain
And the best we can do
Is to get through the hurt
Til the hurting is through
Another job is out there
but it won't be for long
You've got to get ready
You got to move on

It's not that I'm unsympathetic
You know I understand
Too much crying
Just gives you a headache
It can get so out of hand


(Solo?)
You don't much choice
when your life takes a turn
You can lay down and die
or you can watch and learn

I'll say to you
Baby, it's brains over brawn
Just dust off your ass
You got to move on
Move on

No story really. Just a universal truth, in my humble opinion.
