I'm Movin' In

I'm headin' out on the rails

That's been carryin' the mail

That's been tellin' your troubles to me

You told me a lie for every crosstie

From Frisco to old Tennessee

Nobody knew your little game

Everybody gave me the blame.

In the smoke and the fog

Of this old switchyard

And that dreary whistle's farewell

Bid the folks goodbye

Told 'em not to cry

I'd only be gone for a spell

I'm playin' in this game to win

And when I find you I'm movin' in.

Tried to make me believe

I was the one that deceived

That I drove you to the things you've done

Said you loved me in vain

And our old love train

Had made it's final run

And in your letter you said

That you were goin' to be wed.

--- Instrumental ---

Your little joke was fine

But that old bunch a line

Just didn't register with me

So you'd better get loose

From your other caboose

And meet this old SP

I'm speedin' in tonight

You'd better treat your daddy right.

Better get on the ball

I'm not aimin' to stall

And those ramblers are runnin' on time

So tell your new date

That he'd better vacate

Get out on the old main line

I took it with a grin

But baby now I'm movin' in.

That big loud bell

Is ringin' to tell

That the station is comin' in sight

As the cure we're roundin'

My heart is poundin'

With the thought of seein' you tonight

It's been so doggone long

You know you've done your daddy wrong/

--- Instrumental ---

In the noise of the crowd

I hear you callin' aloud

Standing in the station door

You set a two timin' pace

But I've won the race

And you can't go roamin' no more

Your little story was away too thin

Baby now I'm movin' in...
