![]() Wildflowers (1994) [ larger cover art ] |
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, time to get going
Broken skyline
Movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector
A broken skyline
Which way to love land?
Which way to something better?
Which way to forgiveness?
Which way do I go?
Yeah, it's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, time to get going
Sometime later
Getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning
and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenalin
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind
Yeah, it's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Yeah, it's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
But under my feet, baby, grass is growing
It's time to move on, it's time to get going
Yeah, it's time to move on, it's time to get going.

| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Feb 15, 2013 - 17:37 Well I was about to go home, but not until this beautiful songs concludes. |

| richlister (Here, there, pretty much everywhere.) | Posted: Jan 28, 2013 - 04:25 Well, STFU and 'Get Movin' then, Petty! Geeeez. |

It's that snare but the songs are quite different. I see your point, though. |

| Netto (Khimki, Russia) | Posted: Jun 26, 2012 - 17:08 Great. Shift 9 to 10 mark. |

Far as I'm concerned, Mr. Petty can do whatever he wants and sound good doing it. This one from TP has found it's way onto my player time and time again. The whole doggone album, for me, is a road trip must-have! |

| Netto (Khimki, Russia) | Posted: Mar 24, 2011 - 10:08 Like it! |
| LPCity (Salt Lake City, Utah) | Posted: Oct 15, 2010 - 10:28 This album came out 15 years ago and still sounds great. Although it would be TOTALLY awesome if Bill would let it run right into You Wreck Me, the rockingest song on the album. |

| sirdroseph (Tokyo) | Posted: Jun 12, 2010 - 08:59 yes, this is a definite "blind squirrel" album. Strange, how he seemed to recapture all of the magic from earlier in his career in this one album, he done good with this one! |
| sirdroseph (Tokyo) | Posted: May 11, 2010 - 14:55 Yea, yea, grumble, grumble, this is a good song he says begrudgingly, grumble, grumble.... |

Something about this song makes me reach for the mute at some speed, even though I like some of Petty's other stuff :( Maybe, and it is just a suggestion, you do not understand the important role of "road songs" in NA culture. |
