Lyrics

I'm gonna write mama for money and tell her I'm coming home
I don't like big city livin' I've been here much too long
I can't find a job I've been looking walking the streets up and down
I'm gonna write mama for money cause I wanna leave this town

Well I know now that mama's right city's no place for me
I sure wish that i's back home cause that's where I wanna be
City's all right for some folks but that's not where I belong
So I'm gonna write mama for money cause mama I wanna come home
I can't find a job I've been looking..

Well I tried my luck at thumbin' a ride but that didn't work at all
Then I tried to hop aboard the freight train but the railroad boss just kicked me off
Winter's here and I'm cold and hungry but I won't steal or do wrong
I'm gonna write mama for money cause mama I wanna come home
I'm gonna write mama for money..
