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

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
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

Solo

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

From lucinda williams "happy woman blues"
