Lyrics

(written by Lucinda Williams) Lucinda Williams lead vocals and acoustic guitar Mickey White acoustic rhythm and lead guitars, harmony vocals Rex Bell electric bass and harmony vocals Andre Matthews electric rhythm, lead and slide guitars Ira Wilkes drums Mickey Moody pedal steel guitar Malcolm Smith fiddle and viola 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 loovin, 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
