I’m Movin’ On – Miranda Lambert (originally by Hank Snow) (from “The Ice Road” soundtrack)

That big eight wheeler rollin’ down the track Means your true lovin’ daddy ain’t comin’ back ‘Cause I’m movin’ on, I’ll soon be gone You were flyin’ too high for my little old sky And I’m movin’ on
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew Said hello to the Southland, we’re comin’ to you And 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 fireman, won’t you please listen to me ‘Cause I got a pretty mama down in Tennessee So keep me movin’ on, keep me rollin’ along Shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll And keep me movin’ on
Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler’s the fastest in the southern land To keep me movin’ on, keep me rollin’ along You’re gonna ease my mind and put me there on time And keep me rollin’ on
I told you baby from time to time But you just wouldn’t listen or pay me no mind Now I’m movin’ on, I’ll soon be gone You’ve broken your vow and it’s all over now So I’m movin’ on
You switched your engine, now I ain’t got time For no trifling woman on my main line ‘Cause I’m movin’ on, you done your daddy wrong Well I’ve warned you twice and now you settle the price And now I’m movin’ on
Some day baby when you’ve had your play You’re gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say I’m movin’ on, you stayed away too long Well I’m through with you, with your bad and your blues I’ll keep a movin’ on
