Bobby Bare - Ride Me Down Easy Lyrics

one of the GREATEST EVER!

The good ole boys

Great voice !

And a hobo with stars in his crown..

This old highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
The rides they is scarce as the rain
When you're down to your last shuck with nothing to sell
And too far away from the train
Been a good month of Sunday's and a guitar ago
I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
Left a long string of friends, some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind
So won't you ride me down easy, Lord ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay
I've put snow on the mountain, raised hell on the hill
Locked horns with the devil himself
Been a rodeo bum, a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown

Good country, good voice.

Damn l love this song..

And too far away from the train..

THANK YOU bobby for a nice song

DACoe does a good cover of this one. More uptempo though. Not saying one is better...

Lve love this song! Thanks Jay!

Good , <3

I have never heard a bad Bare song...his voice is magic to the songs he sings.

nothing but good country

This is country music folks.

Yes sir it sure is.. Iv forgotten how good Bobby Bare is..

Yes it is

Great song! Thank you for sharing!

Johnny Rodriguez's Version? Oh Please..His version was way out there in left field. all due respect dont think it made it out of the record shop let alone onto the charts

It was an album cut, It wasn't bad, but Bobby's version is the one that makes this song good.

Rodriguez's version got some airplay, but never made the charts

They say it takes a good man to cry, how do you know when you have tears running down your cheeks, thank goodness for good music

From one Glenn to another. The feelings for fine pieces of art, such as this is a whole different universe. Cheers bud

Beautiful Song!!

martha guthrie beautiful song

billy joe was a staff writer at return music.,bobby bares music publishing company and studio when harlan deck was the office manager and i remember meeting him there when i took some amateurish stuff i had written and got harlan and billy joe to listen on a cassette i had with me .harlan told me if i had a good job keep it and come back if i thought i had gold in my pen sometimes.i still remember billy joe patting his foot keeping time to my music.but i never went back even tho i got some gold in my pen now.

Bobby does a good job but Johnny Rodriguez does this song better than anyone. Check out his version here on YouTube.

+smchinkie yes, johnny's version is the best

So does David Allen Coe; it was the first version I ever heard back in the '70s.  I'll give Johnny a listen!

Wow, a great song and done so well.

THE GREATEST!!!!!! JFS

Beautiful!

If you are a Sirius XM subscriber, channel 56, Willie's roadhouse usually gives all of his tunes some pretty good airtime.

I remember hearing this song years ago. I don't think they played it enough then. It gives such a feeling of meloncoly to me anyway.

If you share these they will be with us forever.

A very much under-rated singer. He went his own way and did his own thing, and I like that. I hope his music will never go away. What a loss that would be.

David Bell he isn't going anywhere I'm in my early 30's and I love this he's a helluva singer

Im 38 and l love it..

Isn't this everyone's hope. What lyrics, who hasn't been there in some way. thanks

I HATE these ADS - why do yo do do this to a good song - IDIOCY

I looked for it too. So great! thanks,

@savanderburg Bobby Bare does a good job as well.

D. A. Coe does a good cover also. One of Shaver's most brilliant gems.

This song sounds vaguely dirty.

I looked for this song forever!!! Thrilled to find it!

@wambajamba

Bare is a great country legend. One of the greatest of all times!

By the time this recording was made, the Jordanaires were polished to their best ever. I think this was their finest performance.

Great lyrics!

written by Billy Joe Shaver, I do believe

Classic -- one of BB's great renditions!

Not sure whose original song this is but Bobby Bare does a good job on it. -Jimmy
