"The Last Laugh" lyrics
"The Last Laugh"
There's only two kinds of people far as I can tell
The terminally ill and the worried well
Every time I've tried to climb out of this wishing well
I've only made it up just high enough to hurt when I fell
Well, did you ever wonder? Of course, you did
I've always wondered how you kept it all so well hid
I've had my heart wide open since I was a kid
I got a lot of love, I got a lot of love
Always inches from my ankles when he runs out of chain
My neighbor's dog knows I know how to drive him insane
I like to give him a little taste of what I'm feeling all day
Always chasing after something slightly too far away
You think that you're down to nothing, you ain't seen nothing yet
I am down and out to just about as nothing as it gets
I'm working all day every day to pay my debts
I need a lot of love, I need a ton of it
I, I've got a lot of love
I, I've got a lot of love
My old man was always such a bunch of reckless fool
Lived by his own set of not-so-golden rules
The kind of show-off that hated a show-off's guts
I've always figured that's what must be driving us nuts
I, I've got a lot of love
I, I've got a lot of love
I want a six-foot tombstone, two-feet thick
With the words engraved, I tried to tell you all I was sick
So you will know that I was right when you go walking on past
You tried to tell me I was well, but look who's laughing last
Did you ever wonder? Well, of course, you did
I've always wondered how you kept it all so well hid
I've had my heart wide open since I was a kid
I got a lot of love, I got a lot of
I, I've got a lot of love
I, I've got a lot of love
I, I've got a lot of love
I, I've got a lot of love

Levon Helm - "The Mountain" I was born on this mountain a long long time ago
Before they knocked down the timber and stripped mined all the coal
When you rose up in the morning before it was light
To go down in that dark hole...

He's out there hollering, "Darlin' don't you love me no more?"
You always let him in before now didn't you

That he always sang...
