Happy Woman Blues

Tryin' hard to be a happy woman But sometimes life just overcomes me Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues Lay down at night, my mind is so confused Goin' down south with the New York City blues Gotta hit the road before I blow a fuse I might buy me a Cadillac or a Chevrolet I don't care what model as long as it takes me away I've been hiding my heart in a trunk Can you come see me when my ship has sunk You can give me lovin', that I can't refuse And love is the one thing that's sure to cure my blues Goin' down the road with a heave heart Tryin' to find lightness in the dark Tryin' to live my life, tryin' to get satisfied My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside Tryin' hard to be a happy woman But sometimes life just overcomes me Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues Lay down at night, my mind is so confused Lay down at night, my mind is so confused --- Happy Woman Blues - Lucinda Williams
