Lucinda Williams - Happy Woman Blues lyrics

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 heavy 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
