lyrics

She was dancing right in front of me
As I fought with my guitar to kill old melodies
I watched her move like a girl who had nothing to lose

Her shirt flew up as she'd pirouette
I could see her skin and a pack of cigarettes
Just below her jeans plus an angel tattoo

And I thought man, it would be so easy
Yeah I gave it a thought, I figured it would be so easy

She was leaning on the bar when the song was through
Whiskey in her hand she’d take a sip or two
She waved and shouted - Hey you know some Grateful Dead?

I did my best singing Sugaree
She was moving in time as she smiled at me
And I could see angels dancing around her head

And I thought man, this is gonna be easy
I thought yes, she would be so easy, so easy

Damn the years
Damn the world
Damn this life
Damn this girl
For reminding me what’s been told
There's nothing easy about growing old

Put my guitar back in its case
I scan the crowd looking for her face
I get my money from the man and head on out the door

I see her at the end of the bar
Having one last drink before she stumbles to her car
She sees me grabs my arm says I should play some more

I think man, she's making this so easy
Say the word, this could be nice and easy

What ya waiting for, it's right here and easy
She’s looking at me now
Her eyes saying it’s easy
But think about my kids who are just her age
I think about my wife at home up late
I say my good-byes cause I can’t play this part
I hold it down at the bottom of my heart
And I ask the cold night air
When did easy
When did easy
When did easy
Become so goddamned hard?

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
