Chicago Blues Session Volume 3

So Easy To Love You

Music by Gene Martin, BMI; Lyrics by Preston Sturges, ASCAP ©2023

I never wasted a moment
I never wasted a beer
thinking over where I was
where I’d go from here
the years piled up I brushed them off
you’re as weak as what you fear
but when friends started dying I knew I was lying
to those I did hold dear

ridin’ on that one-way train
laughin' with all of my friends
all of the girls 
in their diamonds and pearls
I’ll meet them at the end of the end

I never wasted a second
I never wasted a tear
I didn’t play for table stakes
instead I wasted years
I laughed at the losers  
laughed at the squares
there was nothin’ in this world
that would ever take me there

ridin’ on that one-way train
laughin' with all of my friends
all of the girls 
in their diamonds and pearls
I’ll meet them at the end of the end

now I walk disguised 
I don’t look dangerous now
look back on my principles
they were foolish  they were loud
live and let live
says the writing on the wall
I don’t preach to anyone
pride comes ‘fore the fall

ridin’ on that one-way train
laughin' with all of my friends
all of the girls 
in their diamonds and pearls
I’ll meet them at the end of the end
we’re all ridin’
we’re all ridin’
we’re all ridin’ on that one-way train

Ridin' on that One Way Train
