Willie Nelson - I'm Movin' On (with Hank Snow) 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
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 so I've 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
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

I've 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, it is 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
And 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
Get movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

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