That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track   Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back   I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on   You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky   And I'm movin' on      That big loud whistle as it blew and blew   Said hello to the southland, we're comin' to you   I'm movin' on, oh, hear my song   You had the laugh on me, now I'm settin' you free   And I'm movin' on      Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me   I got a pretty mama in Tennessee   Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on   You gotta shovel the coal, let this rattler roll   And keep movin' on      Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand   This rattler the fastest in the southern land   Keep movin' on, I stayed away too long   You gonna ease my mind and put me there on time   And keep movin' on      I've told you baby, from time to time   You just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind   Now I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on   Well, you've broken your vow and it's all over now   And I'm movin' on      You've switched your engine now I ain't got time   For a triflin' woman on my main line   I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong   I warned you twice, now you can settle the price   And keep movin' on      But someday, baby, when you've had your play   You want your daddy but your daddy will say   Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long   I'm through with you, too bad you're blue   Keep movin' on
