That big eighteen-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
So 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 set you free
And i'm movin' on

Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me
'cause i got a pretty mama in tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll
And keep movin' me on

Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
To keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You gonna ease my mind, put me there on time
And keep rollin' on

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

You've switched your engine, now i ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
Cause i'm movin on, you done your daddy wrong
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price
'cause i'm movin on

But someday baby, when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, you stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on

We use to have good times together dear
But now i feel them slip away
It makes me cry to see love die
So sad to watch good love go bad

Remember how you used to feel dear
You said nothing could change your mind
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

Is it any wonder that i'm feeling so blue
When i know for certain that i'm losing you
It breaks my heart to see us part
So sad to watch good love go bad

So sad to watch good love go bad

She's a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies -- she's a devil in disguise -- in disguise

Now a woman like that, all she does is hate you
She doesn't know what makes a man a man
She'll talk about the time that she's been with you
She'll speak your name to everyone she can

She's a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies -- she's a devil in disguise -- in disguise

Unhappiness has been her close companion
Her world is full of jealousy and doubt
It gets her off to see a person crying
She's just the kind that you can do without

She's a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies -- she's a devil in disguise -- in disguise

Her number always turns up in your pocket
Whenever you are looking for a dime
It's alright to call her but i'll bet you
The moon is full and you're just wasting time

She's a devil in disguise -- you can see it in her eyes
She's tellin' dirty lies -- she's a devil in disguise -- in disguise
In disguise [in disguise] in disguise [in disguise]

Oh the sun's gonna shine in my life once more
Love's gonna live here again
Thing's are gonna be the way they were before
Love's gonna live here again

Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here
Love's gonna live here again

No more loneliness
Only happiness
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bells a ringing
I hear birds a singing
Love's gonna live here again

I hear bees a humming
And i know the days a coming
Love's gonna live here again

Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or i'll step into your parlour
And i'll tell you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And i remember something that you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night half past two
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
Went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now i know just what i have to do
Cause i headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
And i saw my devil, and i saw my deep blue sea
And i thought about a calico bonnet from cheyenne to tennessee


The news i could bring i met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And headed out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And i remember something that you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down down down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads i went down down down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

It's over our love affair
Too late now i find i care
His sweet love no more i'll share
Now he's gone i'm alone
I was wrong should have known
Took me home on our last date

I search for a >single< "simple" way
To tell him what i had to say
I kissed him watched him walk away
Set him free foolishly destiny misery
Tragedy on our last date

Took the ring from my trembling fingers
Brushed a tear from my baby's eye
Walked away didn't know that
I'd soon miss him so
Guess i was too young to realize
So blind i couldn't see
How much he really meant to me
And that soon he would always be
On my mind in my heart i was blind from the start
Lost his love on our last date
