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
