| - %22I'm Moving On%22 is a 1950 country standard written by Hank Snow. The song, a 12-bar blues, reached #1 on the Billboard country singles chart and stayed there for 21 weeks, tying the record. It was the first of seven number-one Billboard country hits Snow scored throughout his career on that chart.The song has four bars of verse followed by eight bars of chorus with the final lines referring back to the verse:That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the trackMeans your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' backI'm movin' on, I'll soon be goneYou were flyin' too high for my little old sky so I'm movin' on%22I'm Moving On%22 is one of three songs in the history of the Billboard country charts to spend 21 weeks at #1, the others being 1947's %22I'll Hold You in My Heart (Till I Can Hold You in My Arms)%22 by Eddy Arnold and 1955's %22In the Jailhouse Now%22 by Webb Pierce. It spent 44 weeks in Billboard's top 10.
