About the Song

Anyway you make it, baby
Won’t you keep on moving on (repeat)
If you can’t fly, run
If you can’t run, walk
And if you can’t walk, crawl
Anyway you make it, baby
Keep on moving on
Anyway you make it, baby
Won’t you keep on moving on

My country it ’tis for me
I moved to right the wrongs
Ain’t much it can be changed
Sitting down a-singing my song
I sing the finest spirit
I keep it up bright & strong
