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

[Verse 1]
Well, I ride on a mail train
Can't buy me no thrill
Well, I've been up all night
Leanin' on the windowsill
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
If I don't make it
You know my baby will
Hit it!

[Verse 2]
Don't the moon look good, mama
Goin' down over the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Play it now, Stephen

[Guitar Solos]
Ah, pick it, Wilson
Aah-aah, aah-aah-aah
Hit it one more time, now
[Verse 3]
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are all filled up 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
Don't say I didn't warn you
When your train gets lost

[Outro]
A-na-na-na-na, yeah
A-na-na-na-na, yeah
A-na-na-na-na, yeah
A-na-na-na-na, yeah...
