It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry

I got on a train

I can't buy a thrill

Well I been up all night, child

Leaning on a window sill

But if I die on top of the hill

If I don't make it I-I know my baby will

Walk over.

Who look good

All shining through the trees

Why don't that baby look good, ma

When it's banging down the double E

Why don't the sun look good

Going down over the sea

Cause I got me a good one

And she's a-coming after me.

But every time that she coming

There goes fuel exhaust

I wanna tell everybody but I

I could not get across

I wanna be your lover, babe

I don't wanna be your boss

Don't say I never warned you

When your train gets lost.
