Movin' Target has just released their new CD, UnPegged, which has been in process for almost a year. Fueled mostly by the writing of Jim Wyly In 2004 Movin' Target won best Americana Band and Best Songwriting at the "Texas Music and Entertainment Awards" in Arlington. Movin' Target has the blend of genres, vocals and new material that will keep your patrons locked in from the first song till the last. The smooth vocals of Mike Arterbury, the flexible and acrobatic vocals of Mark Arterbury, stylistic performances of Jim Wyly and Eddie Penix, some tasteful Fiddlin’ by John Christian, the somewhat hard edge of Eddie Penix on the bass, the Harp from Riley Hickerson and the creative drum spins of Gerald Lowen, keeps the sounds fresh and interesting through out the evening. Catch a Ride on the Movin' Target Train. Movin’ Target performs in several different formats. You might find Jim Wyly doing a single singer songwriter act, or Jim, Mike and Mark doing a trio or several different acoustic variations, besides the main band performances..

Story behind the song
self employed no safety net
Lyrics
On My Own Verse 1 I’ve been working for somebody else, just about all my years Punching a clock, clutching a shamrock, hoping to sooth my fears I always prayed that the bossman paid, but I had to beware If I had some flair, I’d move upstairs, and get somewhere Bridge 1 Well I must have been out of the room When they were talking bout the time I’d lose And my time, yes my time, is all I have Verse 2 Well I’ve been discussing with myself, where I’m gonna go from here I’m getting sick of all of the tricks, it all seems so insincere The clocks uh tick’n, and the plot keeps uh thick’nin, I gotta make a move soon Gotta feelin inside, I just gotta ride, my way out of this doom Bridge 2 I used to be so confused My talents, they were all abused And my time, yes my time, is all I have Yes it’s time for me to take a stand Chorus On my own I’ll take the blows, I’ll take the hit I’ll keep on tickin cause I just won’t quit On my own No safety net, no lifeline rope I’m gonna make it if I just don’t choke On my own ….I’ll make it on my own Instrumental Bridge 3 I used to be so confused My talents, they were all abused And my time, yes my time, is all I have Yes it’s time for me to take a stand End: No safety net, no lifeline rope I’m gonna make it if I just don’t choke Adlive postlude
