Easy From Now On

There he goes, gone again
This same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was like a one way street
But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet
It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of sundays to try and explain
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy from now on
Raw as a whip but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
But when the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry about me I've got a wild card up my sleeve
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy from now on
