Easy To Love

Dog don’t go nowhere
He just sits by the chair
beggin’ for the company
waggin’ away his cares
and though my belly’s bare
I sure like his philosophy

Easy to love
Cause he’s easy
Easy to love

Sunshine Monday morn
creeping out of the corn
waking up the work-a-days
but we don’t work no more
because we’re too damn poor
to pay the fees – we’re livin’ free ‘n easy

Easy to love
Livin’ easy
Easy to love

And when the well goes dry
we’ll drink like a dog from a dirty stream
They’ll repossess our land,
maybe build us a mall
and call it “The American Dream”

But that’s okay
‘cause every day
the American way
and this whimsical world
are here to stay
It’s dog eat dog
but it’s home sweet home

So while they doze
we’ll chase the crows
and down the rows of corn
as your hair like cornsilk grows
we’ll milk the days
before they’ve flown

You, the dog, and I
get a natural high
watchin’ people come ‘n go
and children multiply
We’d never’a had so fine
a family if you weren’t so easy

Easy to love
Cause you’re easy
Easy to love

Sons and daughters soon
leave us lonely as loons
house-broken, dog a-howlin’
blue beneath the moon
as the crickets croon
and we waltz away the days of livin’ easy

Easy to love
Easy
Easy to love

And when the well goes dry
we’ll drink like a dog from a dirty stream
They’ll repossess our land
and build us a monument
to the American Dream
