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

[Verse 2]
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said, "Hello, Alabama", we're comin' to you
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]
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
Keep movin' on, keep a-rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind so put me there on time
Keep rollin' on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
I've told you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
You've broken your vow, it's all over now
I'm movin' on
[Verse 5]
But someday baby when you've had your 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
Keep movin' on

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