Go down easy babe.
Go down slow.
Take all the time you need.
We've no place else to go.
Gonna put on my favorite dress.
Put my hair up too.
Take me North, South, East or West.
I guess I'll leave it up to you.
You threw a noose around my shadow.
Got me into all this mess.
I would have dove in head first anyway
for less, for a whole lot less.
Go down easy babe.
Go down slow.
Take all the time you need.
We've no place else to go.
Say farewell to the confines of my own back yard.
Weeds growin' 'round the flowers.
Sometimes the only way to break the curse
is to leave it all behind.
Find the slow curve of a back road,
one hand on the wheel.
Drive till I remember how it feels.
So this is how it feels. Oh.
Go down easy babe.
Go down slow.
If there's anything better than this
I'd like to know.
