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 the cafe 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 before
Lonely town, lonely town
Lonely town
