about

Music and Lyrics by Dan Frechette. Violin Arrangement by Laurel Thomsen.

lyrics

Life is an easy ride
rambling around the countryside.
Take a load off in your pickup truck
it's been so long since your heart got stuck.
Waiting for the wheels to turn
and some good cash to burn.
Rambling around the countryside of life.

Easy street’s a gravel road
that turns and ends at the fishing hole.
If only they could see you now
with all your dreams you could show them how
you left the county with your unsung verse
when you carried the devils curse.
Rambling around the countryside of life.

You made yourself hard to control
always falling for the jelly roll.
After two years of breaking down
you couldn't find a ride in from town.
A sweet angel took you in
she planted seeds with her red rose grin.
Rambling around the countryside of life.

Life is an easy ride
rambling around the countryside.
