lyrics

Easy for Me

She was never all that good at math
And that would always make me laugh
But I should have seen it as a sign of what was to come
When she said I was her only one

We met when we were both just pushing 23
Life was all trailer parks and bars
Somehow I survived those twister years
With just petty theft from unlocked cars

Oh, you know life don’t come easy for me
So take it easy on me

I worked a few assembly lines
Making burgers or license plates
Signed my check at the liquor store
Got a bottle of Beam and a little change

Oh, you know change don’t come easy for me
So take it easy on me

When she was drinking boys, she’d get mean
She was at her best on a little weed
One night when she was feeling pretty high
She laughed at me and said goodbye

Sometimes you get stuck when you are down on your luck
And It’s hard then to see the other side
It turns out she was never really something that I loved
She was just another place to hide

Oh, you know love don’t come easy for me
So take it easy on me

Oh, love don’t come easy for me
I said Oh, change don’t come easy for me
I said Oh, you know life don’t come easy for me
So take it easy on me
