Relatively Easy Lyrics

Jason Isbell Relatively Easy

are you having a long day everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way dirty city streets smell like an ashtray morning bells are ringing in your ear

is your brother on a church kick seems like just a different kind of dope sick better off to teach a dog a card trick and try to have a point and make it clear

you should know compared to people on a global scale our kind has had it relatively easy and here with you there's always something to look forward to our angry heart beats relatively easy


i lost a good friend christmas time when folks go off the deep end his woman took the kids and he took klonopin enough to kill a man of twice his size

not for me to understand remember him when he was still a proud man a vandals smile a baseball in his right hand nothing but the blue sky in his eye

still compared to those a stones throw away from you our lives have both been relatively easy take the(a) year and make a break there aint that much at stake the answers could be relatively easy



watch that lucky man walk to work again he may not have a friend left in the world see him walking home again to sleep alone or step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl


I broke the law boys shooting out the windows of my loft boys when they picked me up I made a big noise everything to blame except my mind


I should say I keep your picture with me everyday The evenings now are relatively easy Here with you there's always something to look forward to My lonely heart beats relatively easy My lonely heart beats relatively easy
