Verse 1: D G The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell A D The rides,they as scarce as the rain G When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell A D And too far away from the train Verse 2: D G Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago A D Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine G Left a long string of friends,some sheets in the wind A D And some satisfied women behind Chorus: D G Hey ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down A D Leave word in the dust where i lay G A D Say "i'm easy come,easy go and easy to love when i stay" Verse 3: D G Left snow on the mountain,raised hell on the hill A D Locked horns with the devil himself G Been a rodeo bum,a son-of-a-gun A D And a hobo with stars in my crown Chorus.
