I'm Still Movin' On

(Shel Silverstein - 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.



--- Instrumental ---



Ah, doggies keep that ole piano movin' on



From the country fairs to the honky tonks

I played my ole guitar and I sung my songs

I kept them movin' on didn't stay too long

Just stay long enough so I can sing of 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's sweet

keeps you movin on I ain't a sayin 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 keep a movin' on keep a singin' my song

Through the blues and the soul through the rock and the roll

I'll keep a movin' on.



--- Guitar Instrumental ---



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 ole singing ranger ain't intending to break

I'm still a movin on still a singin' my song

And my old gravey train is still throwin' its flames

Still a movin' on.
