Intro

(Play twice)

 Hometown lady leavin' for the city

 Bags in hand she's boarding the train

 Her last look through the window

 I saw her eyes were as red as mine

 I wave goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving

 But a woman can't be high class

 In a lonely farmer's town

 And the son of a poor man

 Ain't gonna turn your head around

 But if you ever get lonely

 Just pick up the telephone

 And the son of a poor man

 Will bring you home

 Well maybe soon I'll see her on some television show

 Painted lips and fingers singing for the world

 A fashion plate for sure dancing for your plastic world

 Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand

 Cause a woman can't be high class

 In a lonely farmer's town

 And the son of a poor man

 Ain't gonna turn your head around

 But if you ever get lonely

 You just pick up the telephone
