Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
* I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
I've got to follow that dream to find the love I need


When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do


Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead
You gotta follow that dream to find the love you need


Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving


Got to find me someone whose heart is free
Someone to look for my dream with me
And when I find her I may find out
Just what my dreams are all about


* Repeat


* Repeat


Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
Keep a-movin, move along
