Original Song, Folk Blues performed using a sweet sounding Sigma 000M 15S Acoustic I picked up recently.

Easier on You is an original song by me written 2014 but was shelved for nearly a year before a new playing style rejuvenated the material and it sprang to life.

The song has become a dependable track for live performance and is regularly played out. It features drop D tuning and a hybrid finger pick strumming style. The lyrics are reminiscent of old timey folk, country, hill billy standards. 

Easier on You – Capo 2nd fret, E tuned down to D,.

Honey, Honey Pie
Darlin’ Darlin’ Dew
I know that life any easy
But its easier on you

I know your nights afire
And I know your days are blue
I know your hearts desire
There 'aint nothing I can do
You do like to say
How life has run you through
Well I know that life 'aint easy

But its easier on you

Cause I wake up in the moonlight
So I can drive the 30 miles
To a job that I don’t really like
But girl I’m Putting in the hours for you
So why do you have to get so glum
The moment that I get back home
Well I know that life aint easy

But its easier on you

I try a little tenderness
When your day is through
But sometimes I get the feeling that
You don’t really want me to
So I’ve tried to sing you
Many different kinds of tune
I know that life 'ain't easy

But its easier on you

Cause when you break it out, You got that touch
Can’t you tell girl,I love it so much
You knock upon my door, you ring my bell
And when you don’t I’m just a livin’ in hell
Y'take my money and all that I've got
It makes no difference if it 'ain't what you want
Well I know that life ain't easy

But it's easier on you

I guess I'll be your little dog
Tethered in your yard
I could howl all night for you
Woman you can be so hard
So stop your talk of leaving me
Unless your gonna make it true
I know that life 'ain't easy

But it's easier on you
