Lyrics Leon Russell

Leon Russell

It Takes a Lot To Laugh, It Takes a Train To Cry

Well, I ride on a mail train, babe,

Can't buy a thrill

I've been up all night,

Leanin' on a window sill

Well, if I don't make it

To the top of the hill

If I don't make it,

You know my baby will

And then winter time is coming

The windows are filled with frost

I went 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

Oh, don't say I never warned you

When your train gets lost

Hey, I wanna be your lover, baby

I don't wanna be your boss

Don't say I never warned you

Now when your train gets lost
