Please welcome Ms. Emmylou Harris and The Hot Band

Well, that big 18 wheeler movin′ down the track
Means your true lovin' mama ain′t comin' back
She's movin′ on, she′ll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
I′m movin' on

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we′re comin' to you
I′m movin' on, keep rollin' along
Yeah, you had the laugh on me, so I set you free
I′m movin′ on, yeah


Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
′Cause I got a sweet daddy down in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin′ along
We can shovel the coal like rattler roll
I'm movin′ on

Yeah, mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the Southern land
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin′ along
You can ease my mind and put me there on time
I′m movin' on

Yeah, I′ve told you, baby, from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
I′m movin' on, keep rollin′ along
You have broken your vow and it's all over now
I'm movin′ on

Yeah, you switched your engine, now I ain′t got time
For a trifling man on my main line
I'm movin′ on, keep rollin' along
Yeah, I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
I′m movin' on

Thank you very much
