Moving On
Brothermandude Lyrics

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track
The train leaving indicates that your father isn't returning

Means your true lovin' daddy ain't coming back
The train symbolizes the permanence of departure

I'm movin' on I'll soon be gone
I'm leaving you behind and starting a new

You were flying too high for my little old sky so I'm movin' on
You were too ambitious and successful for me, so it's time for me to leave

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
The sound of the train's horn announcing its arrival

Said hello to the Southland we're coming to you
The train is greeting the Southern United States

We're movin' on oh hear my song
The train represents progress and freedom

You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm movin' on
You made a fool of me, but I'm ready to move on with my life now

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
Asking the train conductor for help

I've got a pretty woman in Tennessee
He has found a new love and is leaving his old life behind

Keep movin' me on keep rollin' on
He's asking the train to keep moving forward

So shovel the coal let the black smoke roll keep rollin' me on
Urging the train to move fast and far away

I warned you baby from time to time
He tried to warn his lover about cheating on him

But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
She ignored his warnings and still cheated

I'm movin' on I'm rollin' on
He's moving forward with his life

You broken your vow and it's all over now so I'm movin' on
She betrayed him, and therefore, he's leaving her and moving on

But some day baby when you've had your play
When she's done living it up, she'll regret losing him

You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
He won't be there for her when she's done messing around

Keep movin' on stayed away too long
He's not going to wait around for her to come back

I'm through with you too bad you're blue so keep movin' on
He's over her, and it's too bad she's sad, but he's moving on with his life
