Mister Engineer take that throttle in hand
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me?
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
You switched your engine now I ain't got time
And we're movin' on, oh hear my song
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
And keep movin' me on
So I'm movin' on
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You had the laugh on me, so I've set you free
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And I'm movin' on
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
'Cause I'm movin' on, you done your daddy wrong
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Now I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll
So I'm movin' on
'Cause I'm movin' on
I warned you baby from time to time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
But someday baby when you've had your play
