Intro
(Play twice)
Hometown lady leavin' for the city
Bags in hand she's boarding the trai n
Her last look through the wi ndow
I saw her eyes were as red as mine
I wave goodbye but I can't believe she's leavi ng
But a woman can't be high class
In a lonely farmer's tow n
And the son of a poo r man
Ain't gonna turn your hea d around
But if you ever get lo nely
Just pick up the telepho ne
And the son of a poo r man
Will bring you home
Well maybe soon I'll see her on some television show
Painted lips and fingers singing for the wor ld
A fashion plate for sure dancing for your plasti c world
Call me up if you can but if not well I'll un derstand
Cause a woman can 't be high class
In a lonely farmer's tow n
And the son of a po or man
Ain't gonna turn your hea d around
But if you ever get lo nely
You just pick up the tele phone
