Ride me down easy, Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
And I'm easy to love when I stay.
This old highway she's harder than nine kinds of hell
The rides they're as scarce as the rain
When you're down to your last shop with nothing to sell
And too far away from the train.
Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left the long string of friends some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind.
So won't you ride me down easy, Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
I'm easy to love when I stay.

I put snow on the mountain raised hell on the hill
Locked horns with the devil himself
Been a rodeo b** a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown.
So won't you ride me down easy, Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
And easy to love when I stay.
Hey won't you ride me down easy, Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
And I'm easy to love when I stay...
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
And I'm easy to love when I stay.
This old highway she's harder than nine kinds of hell
The rides they're as scarce as the rain
When you're down to your last shop with nothing to sell

Say I'm easy to come, easy to go
I'm easy to love when I stay.
