Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I warned you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen, now pay me no mind
So I'm movin' on (He's movin' on)
I'm rollin' on (Roll on, roll on)
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
So I'm movin' on (Movin' on)
[Verse 2]
That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on (He's movin' on)
I'm rollin' on (Roll on, roll on)
You were flyin' too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on (Movin' on)
[Verse 3]
Some day, baby, when you had your play
Your gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep on movin' (Keep movin' on)
Keep rollin' on (Roll on, roll on)
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
'Cause I'm movin' on (Movin' on)
[Verse 4]
Mr. Engineer, take the throttle in hand
And take me down to that Southern land
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
Keep rollin' on (Roll on, roll on)
You can ease my mind if you get me there on time
Move on (Movin' on)
[Verse 5]
Mr. Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I got a pretty woman in Tennessee
Keep movin' on (Keep movin' on)
Keep rollin' on (Roll on, roll on)
She's fine as can be and she's waitin' on me
Keep on movin' (Movin' on)
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Whoa, move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Whoa, move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Whoa, move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Whoa! Ooh (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Keep on movin' (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Every day (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Every night (Yes, I'm movin' on)
All the time, baby (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
Yeah, yeah (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on, now (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
I'm gonna move on (Yes, I'm movin' on)
