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
