I quit my job, ain't got no money Seems I have to leave this town Packed my bag, went to the station Board the train that's southern 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'll be leavin' so soon Because this life I live Has got me singin' the blues Nothin' to do, that's why I have to go Seems no use in hangin' 'round I can't stop now, the ticket's [Incomprehensible] in hand
