That big eight wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true loving mama ain't a-coming back
'Cause I'm movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said 'hello' to the Southland, we're coming to you
And 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

I 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 rolling on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
And I'm movin' on

Someday, baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your mama but your mama will say
Keep movin' on
You stayed away too long
Well, I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
And I'm movin' on

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true loving mama ain't a-coming back
I'm movin' on
I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on
Movin' on
I'll soon be gone
