Move on J.D. Lyrics

J.D. came home with a Purple Heart, lost his good arm in the war

He spent his days down off Beaumont, behind old man Wiggins' store

And he'd smile at all of the passers-by as he nursed on an ice cold beer

Till the police came and would run him off

They'd say, J.D. it's time to move on from here

They'd say move on, move on J.D.; move on from here

You can go anywhere you want, but you just can't stay here

J.D. carried him a switch blade knife in his hip pocket all the time

He'd sleep it off behind the courthouse with one eye open all night long

But the dreams they'd rage on like a firestorm, every single night of the year

And come morning light the judge would wake him up

He'd say, J.D. it's time to move on from here

He'd say move on, move on J.D.; move on from here

You can go anywhere you want, but you just can't stay here

J.D. got his angel wings when the good lord called him home

Now he spends his days down by the fairgrounds, never more a wandering soul

And he smiles down on all of the passers-by, just grinning from ear to ear

And they all say, hey look over there; look who finally made it here

Well it's move on, move on J.D.; move on J.D. made it here

And he can stay just as long as he wants

Because move on J.D. is welcome here
