Emmylou Harris
I’m Movin’ On
[Verse 1]
Yeah, that big eight wheeler movin' down the track
Means your true lovin' momma ain't coming back
She's movin' on
She'll soon be gone
Yeah I'm flyin' too high for my little old sky
I'm movin' on
[Verse 2]
Yeah that big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're coming to you
I'm movin' on
Keep rollin' along
You had the laugh on me, so I set you free
I'm movin' on, yeah
[Fiddle Solo]
[Verse 3]
Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a sweet daddy down in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on
Keep rollin' along
We can shovel the coal, I gotta go
I'm movin' me on
[Verse 4]
Yeah, mister engineer, take the throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
Keep movin' me on
Keep rollin' along
You can to ease my mind and put me there on time
I'm movin' on
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 5]
Yeah, I've told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on
Keep rollin' along
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm moving on
[Verse 6]
Yeah, you've switched your engine, now I ain't got time
For a trifling man on my main line
I'm movin' on
Keep rollin' along
Yeah, I warned you twice, you can settle the price
And move it on
