The ingots are burning red
I'm working time and a half
Tomorrow I'll stay in bed
What a life I lead what a life
Laugh in my face why don't you
Laugh with the rest I know it well
I tripped and then I fell for
The beauty of Wynona
At night I toss and I turn
And I try and dial your number
It's changed and God only knows
Where you been since last December
Where you been with that twisted smile
Laying another on the pile
It ain't easy when we go down for
The beauty of Wynona
Girls they skip double dutch
I saw you there prayed my God
But my prayers don't mean nothin much
With a heart that cannot be won
Rain in that wishing well
Right here in my own bed
It ain't easy when we go down for
The beauty of wynona
