I'm Movin' On

Lyrics

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track
 Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back
 'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone
 You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on
 That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
 Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you
 And we're moving on, oh, hear my song
 You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on
 ♪
 Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
 'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
 Keep moving me on, keep rolling on
 So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on
 Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
 This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
 To keep moving me on, keep rolling on
 You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on
 ♪
 I told you, baby, from time to time
 But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
 Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on
 You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on
 You switched your engine, now I ain't got time
 For a trifling woman on my main line
 'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong
 I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on
 ♪
 But some day, baby, when you've had your play
 You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
 "Keep moving on, you stayed away too long"
 I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on
