This old highway she�s hotter than nine kinds of hell The rides they is scarce as the rain When you�re down to your last shuck with nothing to sell And too far away from the train
Been a good month of Sunday�s and a guitar ago I had a tall drink of yesterday�s wine Left a long string of friends, some sheets in the wind And some satisfied women behind
(Chorus) 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 put snow on the mountain, raised hell on the hill Locked horns with the devil himself Been a rodeo bum, a son of a gun And a hobo with stars in his crown
