Tell Mama

I quit my job, ain't got no money

Seems I have to leave this town

Packed my bag, run to the station

Board the train that's eastward bound

Tell Mama and all the folks back home

Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone

Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon

Because this life I live has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do, that's why I had to go

Seems no use in hanging 'round

I can't stop now, the ticket's in my hand

Board the train that's eastward bound

Tell Mama and all the folks back home

Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone

Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon

Because this life I live has got me sick through and through, hey, ooh

I quit my job, ain't got no money

Seems I have to leave this town

Tell Mama and all the folks back home

Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone

Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon

Because this life I live has got me sick through and through

Tell Mama and all the folks back home

Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone

Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon

Because this life I live has got me sick through and through
