Easy Ways

Bloody red sunset over the Nevada mountains
Pretty as a pastel torn across a rough edge
Oh, look at me now, I’m lost and broken down
In a valley there were easy ways around
Easy ways around the trouble and the shape I’m in
But they don’t go to places I’ve been
Easy ways around the trouble and the shape I’m in
But they don’t go to places I’ve been
Forbidden taste
You kissed my cheek and then you kissed my face
Until there was no face left to save
Oh, look at me now, I’m lost and broken down
In a valley there were easy ways around
Easy ways around the trouble and the shape I’m in
But they don’t go to places I’ve been
Easy ways around the trouble and the shape I’m in
But they don’t go to places I’ve been
Nashville, Johnny
You can get your start
You can buy the hat, you can play the part
These days, that’s the state of the art
