During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ron West was part of a well-remembered Kansas City band, The Chessmen, with his two brothers Gary and Steve.[1] Heavily inspired by British invasion groups, the band played both live covers and recorded original studio material. Gary West was also a member of the band Shooting Star, which scored several modest AOR hits in the late 1970 and early 1980s.
Led by Ron West, the band's self-titled first album was released in 1977 on a label called Panama Records. Even though Panama was an independent label, the band garnered substantial airplay on American FM AOR radio stations, specifically with the track "Movin On". Missouri's first gig was opening for Firefall in Emporia, Kansas. Missouri toured nationally with many major label acts such as Ted Nugent, Golden Earring, among many others.
A second album, "Welcome Two Missouri", was released on the larger and international Polydor label in 1979, including a re-recorded version of "Movin On" minus the original intro. By this time two of the original line up had dropped out. No further recordings except a repackaging of recordings from the previous albums called the best of Missouri.
MOVIN ON
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
And I'll never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
[1st Verse]
Movin' on,
From town to town.
I'm alone,
On my own.
All my life,
When I been movin'.
Don't know why,
Just gotta go.
[Chorus]
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you and I just gotta go.
(Guitar lead solo)
[Repeat Chorus]
[2nd verse]
One day soon,
I'll stop my searchin'.
Find a girl,
Hey and settle down.
Don't know how,
But I keep movin'.
Lot's of places,
I've never been.
Final chorus -
And that road goes on and on into the sunset.
And my destiny is bound to move me on.
Never find the one to satisfy my soul there.
Girl I want you but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.
Girl I want you, but I just gotta go.
