Lyrics I'm Moving On - Ernest Tubb

That big eight 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
When we're movin' on oh hear my song
You had the laugh on me and so I've set you free
And I'm movin' on ah Leon now

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 the throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
And keep movin' me on keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind put me there on time
And keep rollin' on now you roll buddy

I've told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen nor 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
