Quit my job, aint got no money 



Seems I have to leave this town 



Packed my bags, run to the station 



Board the train thats eastward bound 







(chorus) 



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, thats why I had to go 



Seemed no use in hanging round 



I can't stop now, the tickets in my hand 



Board the train thats eastward bound 







(chorus) 







Quit my job, aint got no money 



Seems I have to leave this town 







(chorus)
