Ry Cooder - How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too) Lyrics
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
They tell ya to keep on moving but migrate, you must not do
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam
To move to a new lo cation and find myself a home
They said I was unneeded, had no claim to the land
They said, "Come on, get moving, it's the only thing for you"
But how can you keep moving unless you migrate too
Now if you pitch your little tent along the broad highway
The Board of Sanitation says, "Sorry, you can't stay"
Come on, come on, get moving it's their everlasting cry
Can't stay, can't go back, can't migrate, so where the hell am I
How can you keep on moving unless you migrate too
The only reason for moving and the reason why I roam
To move to a new location and find myself a home

Ry Cooder How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too) Comments
What a GREAT song.....and artist....had forgotten that I listened non stop to this album .
I bought this record when it came out because back then in 1972 Warner Brothers Records had what they called "Loss Leaders". 1,2. or 3 record sets you could order through the mail with the info contained in the record you just bought usually on the sleeve or in an insert. Mostly 2 or 3 records with peculiar names. My favorite is Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies, a 3 record set. It was a dollar per record so that one set me back $3 (no shipping fee), with the idea that you would like some of these artists that you might not otherwise be exposed to, as any artist would never have more than 2 songs on one of these if that. Great art work, Elmer Fudd on the cover of this one. Well it worked quite well as they made many of these over the next few years all with odd titles. I have quite a few I have purchased or repurchased over the years on Ebay. This particular record of Ry's has maybe been played more times than any I own, and never fails to surprise me with something new. I originally had a hard time with Hey Porter and Vigilante Man, but now they are my favorite songs. Hey Porter he reworked completely I just found out as the original is quite fast. Also as my stereo system improved over the years I came to realize this is also an exceptional recording, to the point now that if I close my eyes and turn out the lights Ry and the band are right there in front of me, spread out across the stage. He came to Raleigh NC in 1974 or 5 and me and a buddy drove from Durham (on a "work" night lol) to see him and Randy Newman, both acoustic.
I loved this album when I was 16. Noone else among my friends liked it! It was not cool! Now I am 54, and "Into The Purple Valley" is still one of my favourites! Good, clear, handmade music from the heart like this always passes the test of time, and Ry Cooder knew that from the beginning!
Love this song - reminds me of good times with my brother listening to Ry back in the 1970's.
Io sono per tutti gli adoratori di ariana grande ecc ma secondo voi problem per fare un esempio è comparabile con musica come questa che viene dal cuore .
Quest album è bello da ascoltare ma anche da capire , io penso che se tutti ascoltassero quest album o altri capolavori come heart wind and fire o aretha franklin almeno una parte si ricrederebbe.

@Filippo Mattiacci Hvad fanden er det for noget hundelort?
gå til helvete !
Remember my brother...
sempre il solito ry: GRANDISSIMO
ahh! i love the tone at the beginning
great record. thanks for uploading this.
Love this whole album! A great musical chronology of the Great Depression/Dust Bowl!
And the present....
