I’m Movin’ On

[Verse 1]

Well that big eight-wheeler rollin’ down the track

Means your true lovin’ daddy ain’t comin’ back

‘Cause I’m movin’ on

I’ll soon be gone

But you were flyin’ too high for my little old sky

And I’m movin’ on

Big loud whistle as it blew and blew

Said hello to the southland, we’re coming to you

And we’re movin’ on

Oh hear my song

You had a laugh on me

So I’ve set you free

And I’m movin’ on

[Verse 2]

Mister fireman, won’t you please listen to me

‘Cause I got a pretty mama down in Tennessee

So keep me movin’ on (movin’ on)

Keep me rollin’ along (movin’ on)

Shovel the coal and let this rattler roll

And keep me movin’ on

Mister engineer, take the throttle at hand

This rattler’s fastest in the southern land

To keep me movin’ on (movin’ on)

Keep me rollin’ along (movin’ on)

You’re gonna ease my mind and put me there on time

And keep me rollin’ on

Ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 3]

I told you baby from time to time

But you just wouldn’t listen or pay me no mind

Now I’m movin’ on

Movin’ on

I’ll soon be gone

Movin’ on

Oh you’re broken your vow and it’s all over now

So I’m movin’ on

Switched your engine now I ain’t got time

For no triflin’ woman on my main line

‘Cause I’m movin’ on (movin’ on)

Done your daddy wrong (movin’ on)

Well I’ve warned you twice and now you settle the price

And I’m movin’ on

Ooh ooh ooh

[Outro]

Ooh ooh ooh

Someday baby when you had your play

You gonna want your daddy

But your daddy won’t stay

I’m movin’ on

Stayed away too long

Well I’m through with you with your bad and your blue

So keep a movin’ on
