Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay
This old highway is harder
And the rice is as scarce as the rain
And you're too far away from the train
It's been a good month of Sundays
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a long line of friends,
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 come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay
I've seen fire on the mountain,
I've raised hell on the hill
And a hobo with stars in his crown
So won't you ride me down, easy
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well, won't you ride me down, easy
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay
Well, won't you ride me down easy, Lord?
