[Verse 1]
Mama's standing at the old screen door
With a dish rag in her hand
Crying like I never seen her cry before
Like she don't understand why
I'm leaving a lonely town
I'm leaving a lonely town
[Verse 2]
My old man he's working 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 leaving a lonely town
I'm leaving a lonely town
[Verse 3]
Driving one last time down Main Street
Past the cafe on the square
Go slow by the window 'cause I know she's
Waiting tables in there, but
I'm leaving a lonely town
She know's I'm leaving a lonely town
I'm leaving a lonely town
Lord I'm leaving a lonely town
[Outro]
Mama's standing at the old screen door
Crying like I never seen her cry before
Lonely town, lonely town
Lonely town
