I'm Movin' On by Hank Snow "I'm Movin' On" was written about four years before it was ever recorded. On my first session, which was held by RCA in Chicago in 1949, the song was turned down flat by Steve Sholes, recording director. Later on, in the spring of 1950, in Nashville, Mr. Sholes had not remembered the song, so I recorded it. This song, by the way, has been recorded by between 50 or 60 artists around the world. — Hank Snow I'm Movin' On That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone You were flyin' too high for my little old sky So I'm movin' on 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. Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land Keep movin' on, keep rollin' on You're gonna ease my mind, so put me there on time Keep rollin' on. I warned 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 have broken your vow and it's all over now So I'm movin' on. But someday, baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say "Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long I'm through with you; too bad you are blue So keep movin' on."
