Movin' On

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
I'm movin' on

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Your lone-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
He's movin' on, I'm movin' on
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
I'm movin' on

One time baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
He's movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I'm movin' on

Engineer, pull the throttle ahead
Take me back to the southern land
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
You gonna ease my mind to get on the right time
And I'm movin' on

Fireman won't you please listen to me
I got a pretty woman in Tennessee
I'm movin' me on, I'm movin' on
She's longin' me, waitin' for me
I'm movin' on

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
You've broken your vow, and it's all over now
I'm movin' on

That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Your lone-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
He's movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I'm movin' on

One time baby when you made your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
He's movin' on, I'm movin' on
You were flyin' too high, for my little old sky
I'm movin' on

Engineer, pull the throttle ahead
Take me back to the southern land
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
You gonna ease my mind to get on the right time
And I'm movin' on

Fireman won't you please listen to me
I got a pretty woman in Tennessee
I'm movin' me on, I'm movin' on
She's longin' me, waitin' for me
I'm movin' on
