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 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 caf 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
