Leavin' A Lonely Town

Mama's standin' at the old screen door

With a dish rag in her hand

Cryin' like I never seen her cry before

Like she don't understand whyI'm leavin' a lonely town

I'm leavin' a lonely townMy old man, he's workin' on his truck

Ain't never had much to say

Just shakes my hand and wishes me luck

And watches me walk away, yeahI'm leavin' a lonely town

I'm leavin' a lonely townDrivin' one last time down Main Street

Past her caf on the square

Go slow by the window 'cause I know

She's waitin' tables in there butI'm leavin' a lonely town

She knows I'm leavin' a lonely town

I'm leavin' a lonely town

Lord, I'm leavin' a lonely townMama's standin' at the old screen door

Cryin' like I never seen her cry beforeLonely town, lonely town

Lonely town
