Momma, there's a boy outside He's come to take me away That old pontiac looks like a cadillac today Momma I'm goin for a ride now And I might not come home Says hes got a ring He can give me better things than you And I'm goin away now And I might not come home I'm leavin alabama And you all alone Momma the wind is howlin But you've been silent for years Don't stare at that door no more You won't see him through your tears Momma don't stand in my way I can't die here with you Pauls been 5 years gone now Don't expect he'll be comin soon And I'm goin away now And I might not come home I'm leavin alabama And you all alone And I'm goin away now And I might not come home I'm leavin alabama And you all alone And you all alone
