Mom, Dad, sit down and listen
I'm leaving tomorrow sometime
I won't hear any objections
Believe me, I've made up my mind
Next month I'll be three years from twenty
Don't cry, Mom, I'll make out just fine
Thank God I'm out of that damn house
And my folks are out of my way
Yes to the city, thanks for the ride
Though I don't know where I'm gonna stay
And who said the climate was warm here in May?
Things weren't supposed to work out this way
And I'm knocking on strange doors
Sleeping on hard floors
And singing these lonesome old songs
And I'm taking what's free
And not giving from me
And I can't help but thinking that's wrong
Mom, Dad, I'm calling to tell you
That everything's working out fine
I got me a girl who's so gentle and sweet
She stays happy most all of the time
And if you're in town and want to stop by
I don't think that I'd really mind
We've not been together for such a long time
