I'm Movin' Songtext
von Hank Snow

I′ve been movin'
I′ve been movin'
Down a dusty road along a railroad line
In the spring, fall, winter, and the summertime
'Cross the river and a creek and the mountain peak
In the alley and the valley every day of the week
I′ve been movin′
I've been movin′

Standin' by the road with my thumb in the air
I got dust on my face and dirt in my hair
A beer truck stops and I get in the back
With a load of booze sittin′ on a gunny sack
Mighty dry, and so I broke a keg and drained it dry
The driver stopped and threw me off, man, I could barely walk


But I'm movin′, yes, I'm movin'
Down a dusty road along a railroad line
In the spring, fall, winter, and the summertime
′Cross the river and a creek and a mountain peak
In the valley and the alley every day of the week
I′m movin', I keep movin′
And I'll keep movin′ 'til I move it on off my mind

Well, I′m walking 20 miles to the nearest hick town
I got holes in my socks and my shoes broken down
And a coffee shop there everybody stares
Order up a meal that could choke a millionaire
Eat the food taste good, I'm done better run
No dough better go before the Sharif comes

I'm movin′, I keep movin′
Down a dusty road along the railroad line
In the spring, fall, winter, and the summertime
'Cross the river and the creek and the mountain peak
In the alley and the valley every day of the week
I keep movin′, I keep movin'
And I′ll keep movin' ′til I move in on off my mind

Well, I'm back on the road with my thumb held high
I'm hopin′ some chick will come and give me a ride
I′ll show her I'm a hot stud, here she comes
A rich chick who gets her kicks from highway thumbs
I climb on, we′re gone winin' and dinin′
I con 50 bucks and leave the next one a-cryin'


I′m movin', yes, I'm movin′
Down a dusty road along a railroad line
In the spring, fall, winter, and the summertime
′Cross the river and a creek and a mountain peak
In the alley and the valley every day of the week
I'm movin′, I keep movin'
And I′ll keep movin' ′til I move it on off my mind
