It Ain't Easy to Go

I did not learn the blues like Muddy Waters
I heard it in a store downtown
I don’t come from the shores of Mississippi
But I’ve seen 'er when the sun goes down
I did not sell my soul for playing guitar
I learned and practiced it everyday
I’m a modern man and I’ve come to understand
And it shows through in every way
But my heart is warmed
By southern fantasy
Oh could you understand
How much that means to me
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Yeah, yeah
Bless my soul, bless my soul
Babe you do things in a different way
It changes me, but I don’t want to see it
It’s gonna bring me back home again
Dam this weather it’s got to get better
Because I’m leaving on a plane today
If you remember in time, be sure to drop a line
And think of something clever to say
But my heart is warmed
By southern fantasy
Oh could you understand
How much that means to me
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Yeah, yeah
Get back down, to where there’s water
Gotta get me some of that ocean view
Southern lies romanticized
Laid out and waiting for you
Can’t stand, can’t stand still
Gotta shoot between the shades of gray
I’m travelling man, I’ve come to understand
And it shows through in every way
But my heart is warmed
By southern fantasy
Oh could you understand
How much that means to me
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Oh, well I know
It ain’t ever easy to go
Yeah, yeah
