"Going" in this sentence means "to continue speaking about a certain topic without stopping." It also can be used to indicate that something is continuing on without stopping, like a road. Ex: He's was so angry. He kept going on and on about how much he hated his teacher. Ex: I was going on about my day and he interrupted me! Ex: The road kept going on and on. It took us forever to get there. Ex: That show is still going? It should have ended years ago.
