Lyrics
Hey, fellas, have you heard the news,
Addressing a group, asking if they are aware of recent events.
Yeah, the women in this town have been misused,
Acknowledging the mistreatment of women in the town.
Yeah, I seen it all in my dreams last night,
Describing a dream where the singer witnessed the problems.
Girls leaving this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Stating that women are leaving because they are not treated well.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Encouraging various modes of transportation to leave the town.
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired).
Expressing fatigue and frustration with the current situation.
All you fellas better change your ways,
Advising men to change their behavior to prevent the exodus of women.
Yeah, leaving this town in a matter of days,
Indicating that leaving the town is imminent.
Girls are good, you better treat 'em true,
Advising men to treat women well because they are valuable.
I seen fellas running around with someone new.
Observing men involved with new partners, suggesting unfaithfulness.
Gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired),
Reiterating weariness and dissatisfaction with the situation.
Yeah, leavin' here (leavin' here), leavin' here (leavin' here),
Repeating the intention to leave the current location.
I said leavin' here, yeah yeah yeah, don't want to leave all here,
Emphasizing the desire to leave and not wanting to stay.
Be a while, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Expressing that it will take some time to leave the town.
The love of a women is a wonderful thing (oh yeah),
Praising the positive aspects of a woman's love.
Yeah, the way you treat 'em is a crying shame (oh yeah),
Criticizing the mistreatment of women as a shameful act.
I tell you, fella, yeah, it won't be long (oh yeah),
Predicting that women will not tolerate the mistreatment for long.
Yeah, before these women they all have gone (oh yeah).
Anticipating the departure of women if the situation does not improve.
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick and tired (sick and tired),
Reiterating weariness and dissatisfaction with the situation.
Yeah, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Encouraging leaving through various means of transportation.
Yeah, gonna leavin' here, yeah leavin' here,
Repeating the intention to leave the current location.
Yeah, leavin' here, ya gonna leave all here now,
Reiterating the decision to leave the current place.
Baby baby baby, please don't leave here.
Pleading for someone not to leave.
