Emmylou Harris - I'm Moving On lyrics

[Verse] That big eighteen-wheeler, rolling down the track Means your true-loving daddy ain't coming back Because I'm moving on, I'll soon be gone You were flying too high, for my little old sky So I'm moving on That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew Said hello to the south-land, We're coming to you And we're moving on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me, so I set you free And I'm moving on Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me Because I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep moving me on, keep rolling on So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll And keep moving me on Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep moving me on, keep rolling on You going to ease my mind, put me there on time And keep rolling on I've told you baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on You've broken your vow, and it's all over now So I'm moving on You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a trifling woman on my main line Because I'm moving on, you done your daddy wrong I warned you twice, now you can settle the price Because I'm moving on But someday baby, when you've had your play You're going to want your daddy, but your daddy will say Keep moving on, you stayed away too long I'm through with you, too bad you're blue Keep movin' on
