Time to Move On

Barring any natural disasters from Mother nature or stupid mistakes on someone else's part (I'll explain the complete moving company/Navy paperwork debacle/disaster in a later post) I am fucking FINALLY leaving California and I'm headed to Big Sky country. Goodbye and good riddance, to quote AC/DC. There should be many stories from the road, as well as pictures from my new camera.

Because I've told myself that the day I leave the Navy I would play this song, I'll be playing Last Mornin' by Dr. Hook as I leave San Diego. And when I get to the Montana border, I'm going to play the best opening song EVER: 'Big Sky' by Reverend Horton Heat. Now just to get there.

But since this Tom Petty song has kind of been the one-song soundtrack that really stuck in my mind about leaving California since last year, here it is.

Morgan's alarm clock just went off...I'm outta here. Time to move on...time to get going.

Time To Move On
by Tom Petty

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

Broken skyline, movin' through the airport
She's an honest defector
Conscientious objector
Now her own protector

Broken skyline, which way to love land
Which way to something better
Which way to forgiveness
Which way do I go

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

Sometime later, getting the words wrong
Wasting the meaning and losing the rhyme
Nauseous adrenaline
Like breakin' up a dogfight
Like a deer in the headlights
Frozen in real time
I'm losing my mind

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
