It Takes A Lot To Laugh (Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Memphis - 2013)

I ride on a mail train, babe
Can't buy a thrill
I've been up all night, mama
Leaning on the window sill
Well, if I die on top of the hill
Lord, if I don't make it
You know my baby will

Don't the moon look good, mama
Shining through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Coming down over the sea?
Lord, don't my gal look fine
When she's coming after me?

Well, the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Well, don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
