Movin` On lyrics

Artist  : Emmylou Harris 
Song : 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
