D5
That big eight-wheeler, rollin' down the track 
                                  D5
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back 
          G5
I'm movin' on; I'll soon be D gone. 
         A5
You were flyin' too high; for my little old sky, 
              D5
So I'm movin' on. 
     
That big loud whistle, as it blew and blew 
                         D5
Said hello Alabama, We're comin' to you 
                G5               D5
And we're movin' on; oh, hear my song 
       A5
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free 
              D5
And I'm movin' on. 
 
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand 
                                 D5
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land 
           G5                 D5
Keep movin' on;  keep rollin' on 
          A5
You're gonna ease my mind,so put me there on time 
            D5
Keep rollin' on. 
              
I warned you baby, from time to time 
                                D5
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind 
               G5               D5
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on 
         A5
You have broken your vow, and it's all over now 
             D5
So I'm movin' on. 
                            
But someday baby, when you've had your play 
                                      D5
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say 
            G5                      D5
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long 
   A5
I'm through with you; too bad you're blue 
           D5
Keep movin' on.
