"Movin' On" is a song written and recorded by Americancountry music singerMerle Haggard andThe Strangers. It was released in May 1975 as the third single and partial title track from the albumKeep Movin' On. Originally, it was the theme song to the 1974-1976 NBC-TVseries of the same name and references the lead characters of the series, Sonny Pruitt and Will Chandler, by name. A full-length version of the song was released as a single in 1975, and it topped theBillboardHot Country Singles chart that July.[1]
In addition to serving as the main theme toMovin' On, the song was among many in country music to pay homage to the American over-the-roadtruck driver. It should not be confused with the country standard "I'm Moving On" byHank Snow.
