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
