Hometown lady leavin' for the city
C Am G
Bags in hand she's boarding the train
C F
Her last look through the window
C F
I saw her eyes were as red as mine
C Am G
I wave goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving
F G
But a woman can't be high class
C G/B Am C/G
In a lonely farmer's town
F G
And the son of a poor man
C G/B Am C/G
Ain't gonna turn your head around
F G
But if you ever get lonely
C G/B Am C/G
Just pick up the telephone
F G
And the son of a poor man
Bb C F F F Eb Eb Eb C F Bb
Will bring you home
C F C F
Well maybe soon I'll see her on some television show

Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
C F C F
A fashion plate for sure dancing for your plastic world
C Am G
Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand
F G
Cause a woman can't be high class
C G/B Am C/G
In a lonely farmer's town
F G
And the son of a poor man
C G/B Am C/G
Ain't gonna turn your head around
F G
But if you ever get lonely
C G/B Am C/G
You just pick up the telephone

And the son of a poor man's gonna bring you home

| a lady friend is leaving his small town, and he knows that when she goes to the big city everyone treats you based on who you are and how much money you have, where as back home she can be treated like everyone else. people who are poor tend to be a little more down to earth. | |
