Yeah, that big eighteen wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true loving mama ain't coming back
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high for my little old sky, I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland we're coming to you
I'm movin' on, keep rolling along
Yeah, 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 daddy in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rolling on
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a 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 rolling on
You can ease my mind, put me there on time and movin' on

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

You switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a trifling woman on my main line
I'm movin' on, keep rolling on
Well, I warned you twice now you can settle the price, I'm movin' on
