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
