I'm Movin' On

(album: Classic - 2013)

That big eight-wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true-loving baby ain't coming back
And I'm moving on, I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high, for my little old sky
And 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 me moving on, keep rolling on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep moving me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
Keep me moving on, keep rolling on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rolling on

I've 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've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a trifling woman on my main line
Cause I'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'Cause 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 moving on, you stayed away too long honey
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
So keep moving on
