Lyrics:

1980


Now, Easy was a kid from Amarillo
He got in lots of trouble, but he never held a grudge
He'd spend the afternoons in the pool hall
Spent his evenin's with the daughter of the judge

It wasn't long, her daddy found'em
Tryin' to check into a room outside of town
Now, Easy's leavin' on the 4:50
He came lookin' for love and this is what he found

They got a fast train out of Texas
They got an airplaine that's leavin' Frisco, too.
They're gonna put you on a slow boat to China
Cause bein' Easy ain't the easiest thing to do

So, our hero moves to California
Takes up with a star on the rise
In a couple of days, he'd found her weakness
And the wool was easy to pull out over her eyes

Just one thing he didn't count on
Is her mama walkin' at the very worst time
Now, Easy's a runnin' for the airport
Cause her mama's got the police on the line

And they got a fast train out of Texas
They got an airplaine that's leavin' Frisco, too.
They're gonna put you on a slow boat to China
Cause bein' Easy ain't the easiest thing to do

Aw, turn it around boys

One night late, the two, they lay sleepin'
A jealous woman stood right by his bed
With her finger on the trigger
Thought she'd blow a hole in Easy's head

Well, she never got the chance to fire her pistol
She never had the time to shoot her gun
Cause the one thing that boy knows is not to sleep on the job
And again, the song finds Easy on the run

And they got a fast train out of Texas
They got an airplaine that's leavin' Frisco, too.
They're gonna put you on a slow boat to China
Cause bein' Easy ain't the easiest thing to do

Well, they got a fast train out of Texas
They got an airplaine that's leavin' Frisco, too.
They're gonna put you on a slow boat to China
Cause bein' Easy ain't the easiest thing to do

Aw, take it home
