It Ain't Easy to Go

I did not learn the blues like Muddy Waters

I heard it in a store downtown

I don't come from the shores of Mississippi

But I've seen 'er when the sun goes down

I did sell my soul for playing guitar

I learned and practiced it everyday

I'm a modern man and I've come to understand

And it shows through in every way

But my heart is warmed

By southern fantasy

Oh could you understand

How much that means to me

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Yeah, yeah

Bless my soul, bless my soul

Babe you do things in a different way

It changes me, but I don't want to see it

It's gonna bring me back home again

Dam this weather it's got to get better

Because I'm leaving on a plane today

If you remember in time, be sure to drop a line

And think of something clever to say

But my heart is warmed

By southern fantasy

Oh could you understand

How much that means to me

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Yeah, yeah

Get back down, to where there's water

Gotta get me some of that ocean view

Southern lies romanticized

Laid out and waiting for you

Can't stand, can't stand still

Gotta shoot between the shades of gray

I'm travelling man, I've come to understand

And it shows through in every way

But my heart is warmed

By southern fantasy

Oh could you understand

How much that means to me

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Oh, well I know

It ain't ever easy to go

Yeah, yeah
