Happy Woman Blues

(album: Happy Woman Blues - 1980)

Trying hard to be a happy woman.

But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm working just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Going 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

[SOLO]

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.
Going down the road with a heavy heart,

Trying to find lightness in the dark,
Trying to live my life, trying to get satisfied.
My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside.

[SOLO]

Trying hard to be a happy woman.

But sometimes life just overcomes me,
Everyday I'm working just to pay my dues.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused.
