[Verse 1]
That big eight-wheeler rolling down the track
Means your true-loving daddy ain't coming back
I'm moving on, I'll soon be gone
You were flying too high for my little old sky
I'm moving on

[Verse 2]
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the southland, we're coming to you
We're moving on (moving on), hear my song (moving on)
You had the laugh on me and I'm setting you free
And I'm moving on

[Verse 3]
Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
This is the fastest rattler in the southern land
A-keep a-moving me on (moving on), keep rolling on (moving on)
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
Keep rolling on (moving on)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
I warned you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I'm moving on (moving, moving on), I'm rolling on (moving, moving on)
You've broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm moving on (moving, moving on)
[Chorus 3]
But someday, baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
"Keep moving on (moving, moving on), you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
I'm moving on (moving, moving on)"

[Outro]
Moving on (moving, moving on)
Moving on (moving, moving on)
Moving on (moving, moving on)
Moving on (moving, moving on)
