Lyrics Corey Smith – Down Easy

Early bird, aching wings
Slowly rising with the shower steam
Foggy windows, sleepy eyes
I caffeinate my head until it’s clear enough to drive

It takes half a pot of coffee black as coal
I ain’t crazy ’bout the taste
But you make it go down easy
You make it go down easy

The day begins a bitter brew
A mug of o-dark-thirty blues
But your love’s sweet like sugar cubes
You make it go down easy
Down easy baby

Pouring sweat, soaking shirt
I’m always the go-to for the grunt work
Stuck on a ladder, still in the field
Toilin’ by the hour for a third of what they bill

They keep bumpin’ me up enough to keep me around
Just barely north of broke
But you make it go down easy
You make it go down easy

Every day’s a bitter brew, ’til I’m off work and home with you
Baby, your love’s sweet like sugar cubes
You make it go down easy
You make it go down easy, baby

Comin’ in from the heat
You’re my relief
You’re the cool A.C
Baby, you’re the boots off my feet
When I’m feelin’ my age

When it’s enough to put a lump in a grown man’s throat
Seems impossible to take, you make it go down easy
You make it go down easy

Life can be a bitter brew
A big, warm jug of bad, bad news
But your love’s sweet like sugar cubes
You make it go down easy
You make it go down easy, baby
You make it go down easy, down easy
Down easy, baby
You make it go down easy
