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
