[Verse 1]
G C
This ol' highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
D G
The rides, they as scarce as the rain
G C
When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell
D G
And too far away from the train
G C
Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago
D G
Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
G C
Left a long string of friends, some sheets in the wind
D G
And some satisfied women behind
[Chorus]
G C
Won't you ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
D G
Leave word in the dust where I lay
G C D G
Say "I'm easy come, and I'm easy go and easy to love when I stay"
G C D G x2
[Verse 2]
G C
Left snow on the mountain, raised hell on the hill
D G
Locked horns with the devil himself
G C
Been a rodeo bum, a son-of-a-gun
D G
And a hobo with stars in my crown
[Chorus]
G C
Won't you ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
D G
Leave word in the dust where I lay
G C D G
Say "I'm easy come, and I'm easy go and easy to love when I stay"
G C
Won't you ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down
D G
Leave word in the dust where I lay
G C D G
Say "I'm easy come, and I'm easy go and easy to love when I stay"
G C D G
