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)
