Ride Me Down Easy written by Billy Joe Shaver CHORUS: E A Hey ride me down easy Lord ride me on down B7 E Leave word in the dust where I lay E A Say I'm easy come, easy go B7 E And easy to love when I stay E A This old highway is hotter than nine kinds of hell B7 E And the rice is as scarce as the rain E A When you're down to your last shuck with nothin' to sell B7 E And you're too far away from the train 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
