[Verse 1]
That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' mama ain't a-comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on

[Verse 2]
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
When 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

[Verse 3]
I've 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 rollin' on
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
And I'm movin' on

[Verse 4]
But someday, baby, when you've had to play
You're gonna want your mama, but your mama will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
And I'm movin' on
[Verse 5]
That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' mama ain't a-comin' back
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little sky
So I'm movin' on
Movin' on
I'll soon be gone
