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 why I'm leavin' a lonely town I'm leavin' a lonely town My 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, yeah I'm leavin' a lonely town I'm leavin' a lonely town Drivin' one last time down Main Street Past her café on the square Go slow by the window 'cause I know She's waitin' tables in there but I'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 town Mama's standin' at the old screen door Cryin' like I never seen her cry before Lonely town, lonely town Lonely town Lonely town, lonely town
