I'm Still Movin' On Songtext
von Hank Snow

It was back, I remember in ′33
When the great Jimmie Rodgers inspired me to start movin' on
Start rollin′ on
Said, "They can't do you wrong, if you don't stay too long, so keep a-movin′ on"

You know the famous Jimmie, well he′s dead and gone
And my friend Hank Williams, he sung his song
But they both moved on, yes, they're done long gone
But this old country train is still throwin′ it's flames, still a-movin′ on
Ah, doggies, keep that ol' piano movin′ on

From the country fairs to the honky tonks
I played my ol' guitar, and I've sung my songs
I kept them movin′ on, didn′t stay too long
Just stay long enough so I can sing 'em my stuff and keep a-movin′ on


Now that outlaw music's got a real good beat
And the new country pop, I gotta say it is sweet
It keeps you movin on, I ain′t a saying it's wrong
But when it′s all disappeared, you're gonna find me right here still a-movin' on

On the top of the charts, I used to ride with the wind
To the number one spot, I′m gonna make it again
I′ll keep it movin' on, keep a-singin′ my song
Through the blues and the soul, through the rock and the roll
I'll keep it movin′ on
Yeah, talk to me guitar, tell 'em about me

Well, I see my old buddies, and they′re just sittin' there
Rockin' away in that old rockin′ chair
While I′m a-movin' on, just rollin′ on
They've shifted too low, but I′m still on the go and still a-movin' on

So let the big wheels roll and let that rattler shake
This ol′ singing ranger ain't intending to break
I'm still a-movin′ on, still a-singin′ my song
And my ol' gravey train is still throwin′ it's flames, still a-movin′ on
