Chris Rea - Moving On (2017)

The album, "Road Songs For Lovers", continues Rea’s obsession with travel and motion and includes songs with titles such as Happy On The Road, The Road Ahead, The Last Train as well as Road Songs For Lovers itself.

As the title suggests, Rea is on familiar ground once again, but his fans won’t be complaining. After all, the scenery on any road trip is an endless vista of observations and speculations, and Rea’s lyrics can evoke both with consummate ease, drawing you closer as the album progresses.

The musical class on this record is, of course, a given.

Road Songs For Lovers, the 27th chart LP of the 66-year-old's career, sold 6,865 copies in its first week of sale to chart at No.11.

Road Songs For Lovers was recorded at Metropolis Studios earlier this year.

Lyrics:

Well, somebody told me
Something better done that way
So, don't try to hold me
'Cause all I got to say is
Can't stay

Gotta be movin'
I gotta be movin'
Oh, I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Next time you look around
You may find me gone
I gotta be
I got to be movin' on

Free
Nothing can hold me down
What you're loving is what you found
Don't try to change it

I got to be
Got to be movin' on
I gotta be
Got to be movin' on
Movin' on
Whenever you see me
You'll know me by this song
'Cos I gotta be
I gotta be movin' on

Free
I got to be movin' on
Wherever it takes me
Wherever it goes

I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Yeah, I gotta be
I got to be movin' on
Movin' on

Got to be movin' on
I got to be movin' on
So much learnin'
So much to see
Yesterday's gone forever
Tomorrow is free
So I got to be movin' on

Got to be movin' on
I gotta be
Got to be movin' on...
