Over the Rhine - Go Down Easy Lyrics

Go down easy, babe
Go down slow
Take all the time you need
We've no place else to go

Gonna put on my favorite dress
Put my hair up, too
Take me North, South, East or West
I guess I'll leave it up to you

You threw a noose around my shadow
Got me into all this mess
I would have dove in head first anyway
For less, for a whole lot less

Go down easy, babe
Go down slow
Take all the time you need
We've no place else to go

Say farewell to the confines of my own back yard
Weeds growin' 'round the flowers
Sometimes the only way to break the curse
Is to leave it all behind

Find the slow curve of a back road
One hand on the wheel
Drive till I remember how it feels
So this is how it feels, oh

Go down easy, babe
Go down slow
If there's anything better than this
I'd like to know
