Ride Me Down Easy
written by Billy Joe Shaver
CHORUS:
Hey [E]ride me down easy Lord r[A]ide me on down
Leave w[B7]ord in the dust where I l[E]ay
Say I'm e[E]asy come, e[A]asy go
And [B7]easy to love when I s[E]tay
This old hig[E]hway is hotter than n[A]ine kinds of hell
And the r[B7]ice is as scarce as the r[E]ain
When you're [E]down to your last shuck with not[A]hin' to sell
And you're t[B7]oo far away from the t[E]rain
It's been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a long line of friends, some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind, so won't you
CHORUS
SOLO
I've seen fire on the mountain I raised hell on the hill
I locked horns with the devil himself
I've been a rodeo bum I'm a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown, so won't you
CHORUS (2x)
E (let ring)
Well won't you ride me down easy Lord
