Down Easy - Corey Smith

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

In the evening of my day, aww

You’re the color in the sky, before the light fades away

You make it go down easy

You make it go down easy

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
