[Verse 1]
You pack your bags and you move to the city
There's somethin' missin' here at home
You fix your hair and look real pretty
It's time to get out on your own
You're always fighting with your mama and your papa
Your family life is one big pain
When you gonna move to the city
To the city where it all begun?

[Chorus]
Move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, you gotta move
[Verse 2]
You stole your mama's car and your daddy plastic credit card
You're sixteen and you can't get a job, you're not going very far
You're always fightin' with the teacher and the police
This life is so much too insane
When are you, you gonna move to the city
To the city where it all begun?

[Chorus]
Move, you gotta move
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, you gotta move
Into the city with the real nitty gritty
Oh, child, ain't a pity
Sometimes it gets too-oo shitty
Come on and hit me
Ow!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You're on the streets and it ain't so pretty
At least you can do what you please
You got to do what you do for the money
At times, you end up on your knees
Always fightin' with the local and the junkies
This city life is one big pain
But you had to move to the city
To the city where it all begun
[Chorus]
Move, you gotta move
