EASY COME, EASY GO

I got my list of things to do, but you're always on my mind

There's stoplights on the boulevard, yeah I'm good at wasting time

Well, I wrestled with the God of Love and I know He's on our side

Easy come, easy go, but darlin', we'll be fine

A quarter tank of gas and seven dollars in my hand

I guess I'll buy some cigarettes and walk wherever I can

My payday came a month too late, now I'm a skinnier man

Easy come, easy go, yeah that's the law of the land

Well I heard that life's too short to sit around deciding what to do

But I wonder if those people ever find out what is true

A dime is like a nickel but it's smaller and times two

Easy come, easy go, I'd spend them all on you

Everyone's concerned with how they're going to shrivel and die

I've faith enough to laugh and sing, and courage not to cry

I may have fouled up, girl, but at least I did not lie

Easy come, easy go, but it's foolish not to try

If time is friends with death I'm gonna rob him just the same

And torture him till he agrees to tell me his real name

I'm sick and tired of playing his old usual cruel game

Easy come, easy go, yeah that's the devil's way

So say a prayer and send me luck and bid me a farewell

I promise not to buy, girl, will you promise not to sell

I may or may not see you soon, it's too early to tell

Easy come, easy go, I hope that you are well
