G
Mamas 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
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
G
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
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
G
Drivin’ 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, but
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
Em C G
She knows, I’m leavin’ a lonely town
Em C G
I’m leavin’ a lonely town
Em C G
Lord, I’m leavin’ a lonely town
G
Mama’s standin’ at the old screen door
Cryin’ like I never seen her cry before
Em C G
Lonely town,
Em C G
Lonely town
Em C G
Lonely town
