D
That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track 
                                  D7
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back 
          G
I'm movin' on; I'll soon be D gone. 
         A7
You were flyin' too high; for my little old sky, 
              D
So I'm movin' on. 
     
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew 
                         D7
Said hello Alabama, We're comin' to you 
                G               D
And we're movin' on; oh, hear my song 
       A7
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free 
              D
And I'm movin' on. 
 
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand 
                                 D7
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land 
           G                 D
Keep movin' on;  keep rollin' on 
          A7
You're gonna ease my mind,so put me there on time 
            D
Keep rollin' on. 
              
I warned you baby, from time to time 
                                D7
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind 
               G               D
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on 
         A7
You have broken your vow, and it's all over now 
             D
So I'm movin' on. 
                            
But someday baby, when you've had your play 
                                      D7
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say 
            G                      D
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long 
   A7
I'm through with you; too bad you're blue 
           D
Keep movin' on.
