Lyrics:

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 leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through

Nothing to do, that's why I had to go
Seemed no use in hanging 'round
I can't stop now, the tickets 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 leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through, yeah

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 leaving 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 leaving so soon
Because this life I live
Has got me sick through and through
