Lyrics
EASE ON - Richard Murray
We're haulin' a heavy load, legs a-shakin' amd backs bowed
If she ain't liftin' were gonna ditch her, something wrong with this picture
Gotta load up, load in
And we're on the road again
The same old worn out scene
We're gunnin' down a dream
But its easier on your mind
A little ZZ and a little wine
And you're bad you're nationwide
Just ease on down the line
Hot coffee on a long Winter night, bloody eyes flicker at the speed of light
Got a V8 in my Ford and Transit on the door
Gotta load up, load in
And we're on the road again
The same old worn out scene
We're gunnin' down a dream
But its easier on your mind
A little ZZ and a little wine
And you're bad you're nationwide
Just ease on down the line
But its easier on your mind
A little ZZ and a little wine
And you're bad you're nationwide
Just ease on down the line
Roll-ups in the rain, midnight on the diesel lane
Oh for ladies of easy leisure, drastic times call for drastic pleasure
Gotta load up, load in
And we're on the road again
The same old worn out scene
We're gunnin' down a dream
But its easier on your mind
A little ZZ and a little wine
And you're bad you're nationwide
Just ease on down the line
Ease on down the line
Ease on down the line
