Lyric Movin On

(Hank Snow)

That big eighteen-wheeler, rollin down the track
Means your true-lovin daddy ain t comin back
Cause I m movin on, I ll soon be gone
You were flyin too high, for my little old sky
So I m movin on

That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, We re comin to you
And we re movin on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me, so I set 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 me on, keep rollin on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin me on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler s the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin me on, keep rollin on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin on

I ve told 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
So I m movin on

You ve switched your engine, now I ain t got time
For a triflin 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 movin on, you stayed away too long
I m through with you, too bad you re blue
Keep movin on
