I quit my job, ain't got no money
Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon
Tell Mama and all the folks back home
Board the train that's eastward bound
Packed my bag, run to the station
I can't stop now, the ticket's in my hand
Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon
Nothing to do, that's why I had to go
Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone
Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon
Board the train that's eastward bound
Seems no use in hanging 'round
Because this life I live has got me sick through and through, hey, ooh
Tell Mama and all the folks back home
Because this life I live has got me sick through and through
Seems I have to leave this town
Tell Mama and all the folks back home
Because this life I live has got me sick through and through
Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone
Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone
Tell Mama why I'm leavin' so soon
Sometimes a man just feels he's got to make it alone
Tell Mama and all the folks back home
