I'm Movin' on
(Hank Snow)

That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' Daddy ain't comin' back
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
So I'm movin' on.

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello Alabama, we're comm' to you
We're movin' on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on.

Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
This Rattler's the fastest in the southern land
Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on
You're gorma ease my mind, so put me there on time
Keep rollin' on.

I warned you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on.

I warned you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on.

But someday, baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your Daddy, but your Daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you are blue
So keep movin' on.
