That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track

Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back

I'm movin' on, I'll soon begun

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

Cause I got a pretty mama in tennessee

Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on

So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll

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
