I tried to make it
All the way home to Ponchatrain
But couldn't take it
All night drivin through the rain
Now I'm in Mobile
Getting lost but I'm doin' fine
And isn't it funny
That I'd be on my way
If I just heard you say

When you run it aint easy to love
When you run it aint easy to love
Love, Josephine

I know you got reasons
for hangin out at the Tavern Bay
But French girls leave traces
Like champagne in lemonade
So I lie awake here
and listen to the cars go by
That sound like the waves
f allin' on the shore
Reminds me of before

When you run it aint easy to love
When you run it aint easy to love
When you run it aint easy to love

Keep your bar room flies
'Cause I won't hear your cries
You better open your eyes
'Cause I'll be so far gone away

When you run it aint easy to love
When you run it aint easy to leave
Love, Josephine
