lyrics

Jimmy was the man with the grandstand plan
And a couple more up his sleeve
He stole a 4x4 robbed a liquor store
On the night before New Year’s Eve
And he was runnin down the road
Drinkin Wild Irish Rose
With a smile and a sneer
But the plans that he laid
Didn’t allow for barricades
Or the 8 to 15 years

Go down easy
No strugglin on the way
Stickin to the things that you do best
Give a little lovin every day
Take it easy
But take it just the same
Happiness it ain’t no crime
Everybody gets to play that game

Sally was the girl with the ivory curls
And the movie poster smile
She whizzed her way through school
She followed all the rules
With her slow and steady style
She graduated fast at the head of her class
Went to a party in a summer dress
Ridin shotgun in a car
That was leavin from the bar
Into an 18-wheel caress

Go down easy…

Rita and Romaine were a burnin flame
In the class of ‘61
People sure admired the intensity of fire
They displayed for everyone
Both were mesmerized
Lookin in the other’s eyes
They saw the spark and the saddness there
So they had a couple kids
They were kind of glad they did
But it cost their whole affair

Go down easy…

And I was lookin at my life
At the pictures without lights
There were images of you
And I was never really sure
If there ever was a war
Or we just did what we needed to
It reminds me of a time in 1969
I was walkin through the woods
Trees and flowers there unfolded like a prayer
Hell I never felt so good

Go down easy…
