That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't a comin' back
I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland we're comin' to you
We're movin' on hear my song
You had the laugh on me and I'm settin' you free and I'm movin' on

Mister engineer take that throttle in hand
This's the fastest rattler in the southern land
And keep a movin' me on keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind put me there on time keep rollin' on

[ guitar ]
I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now I'm movin' on

But some day baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep a movin' on you stayed away too long
I'm through with you too bad you're blue I'm movin' on
Movin' on movin' on movin' on
