She was a brown haired girl, Only 17, On the west side of Philadelphia, She had a full ride to the southern skies if she only wanted to go, But she met a boy, she fell in love, and let herself get carried away, She had her bags packed but her mind wasn't made when her momma came over to say. She said, Oh, is this really where you want to be? Oh, is this really what you want from me? Oh, in time it always fades away.. Oh, I guess i'll be movin' on. He was a local kid with a dead end job, And a lack of motivation, He left his girl at home and his baby on her own while he wasted himself away, Spent most of his tim at the local bar bumpin' lines off of the table, And at the end of the night he'd come home to his wife and swear he's gonna change his ways, He said, Oh, is this really where you want to be? Oh, is this really what you want from me? Oh, in time it always fades away.. Oh, I guess i'll be movin' on. And every time i drive into a new town, I get the feelin' someone wants to burn the whole city down, Wherever you go wherever you leave, It always seems to me that everybody's movin' on. In 65', He was 21, Got a job at the factory, Saved his whole life in an old shoe box to buy his girl that diamond ring, And in 72' he bought a brand new ford, and he treated it just like gold, Well he rode that pony like a bat outta' hell he still shines it every day, He said, Oh, is this really where you want to be? Oh, is this really what you want from me? Oh, in time it always fades away.. Oh, I guess i'll be movin' on.
