I'm Moving On

(album: Tina Turns The Country On! - 1974)

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'll soon be gone
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
