I’m Movin’ On (with Waylon Jennings)

February 06, 2014

Lyrics

That big eight-wheeler rollin’ down the track
Means your true lovin’ daddy ain’t comin’ back
I’m movin’ on, I’ll soon be gone
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
So keep 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
Keep movin’ on

Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler the fastest in the southern land
It keeps movin’ me on, it keeps going on
You gonna ease my mind and 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
So I’m movin’ on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
But I’m 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
