It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry Lyrics - Steve Earle

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill 

Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill 

Well, if I die on top of the hill 

And if I don't make it, you know my baby will 

Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through 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? 

Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost 

I want 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 never warned you when your train gets lost
