I'm Movin' On

(album: Out Among The Stars - 2014)

That big eight-wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back
I'm moving on, I'll soon begun
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
I'm moving on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, now I'm setting 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 on, keep rolling on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
Keep moving on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler the fastest in the southern land
Keep moving on, I stayed away too long
You gonna ease my mind and put me there on time
And keep moving on

I've told you baby, from time to time
You just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm moving on, I'm moving on
Well, you've broken your vow and it's all over now
And I'm moving on

You've switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a trifling 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 moving on

But someday, baby, when you've had your play
You 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
