Easy Come Easy Go

Jamie was a barmaid at the Underground Longrail

Seems like every Friday evenin’

She’d find herself in Jail

Not a friend this side of Houston

With the time to throw her bail

But she’ll be fine, she’ll be fine

Spent a lifetime walkin’

Through the walls of a broken home

Not a man round here still standin’

For the girl to call her own.

Every time she tried to hold him

She just ended up alone

But there’s still time, there’s still time

Davey drove a taxi

Through the streets of Boston town

Like the billboards up above him

The world just wore him down

Only soul he’d ever cared for

Was the one he’d never found

But He’ll be fine, He’ll be fine

Broken Half of Winter, with a wind chill ten below

Davey sittin’ in his kitchen laughin ‘bout

How the world had done him so

Then the postman burst his bubble

With a letter from below

And now it’s time, now it’s time

And there’s a lot of people runnin’ round

Not quite sure which way to go

But as for me I believe I finally found

It’s just easy come and easy go

Jamie grabbed a bottle, threw her apron on the bar

Packed her whole world in a suitcase

And tossed it in the car

Woke up in Texarkana

Wondrin’ how she’d got this far

And on her own, on her own

Stranger at the motel let Jamie stay for free

She was gone before the daybreak

On her ways to Tennessee

Lookin’ to make the whole world over

Into a place she wants to be

But not alone, not alone

Davey left his taxi

In the bottom of a Beantown lake

He said this whole world’s full of chances

And this is one I gotta take

So he caught the line to Nashville

To finally find his break

And make a home, make a home

As the train flew out of Boston

His whole world passed him by

He said I spent a lifetime runnin’

And now’s the time to try

If I can’t find someone to hold me

My dreams will surely die

And I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone

And there’s a lot of people runnin’ round

Not quite sure which way to go

But as for me I believe I finally found

It’s just easy come and easy go

When Davey hit the pavement

The sky was almost gray

He lit a smoke off of the sidewalk

To drive the storm away

And when Jamie turned the corner

With the world upon her brow

Davey said I must be dreamin’

How could this happen now

And then she walked right towards him

Looked him right up in the eye

Davey reached out for forever

And Jamie walked on by

And there’s a lot of people runnin’ round

Not quite sure which way to go

But as for me I believe I finally found

It’s just easy come and easy go
