Taking The Easy Way Home
© Rob Russell Davies 2007

VERSE 1:
Taking the easy way home
Trav'ling this road all alone
I'm putting some distance, I'm counting the miles
And you're gonna wake up and know...
That I'm driving your memory away
I'm stopping your cheating today
And under the cover of night
I'm going away from your lies

VERSE 2:
I'm taking the easy way home
Going back to a place I can own
The beat of the engine, the rush of the wheels
Make me feel that I'm back in control
And this road's taking me out of reach
For once I feel I can breathe
My instinct keeps pushing me on
Taking the easy way...
Taking the easy way...

BRIDGE:
Back to the way that I lived before
Back to a time when I wanted more
Back to the freedom that suddenly came without warning
Yesterday morning
When you were caught out in the light of day
A night you couldn't explain away
But I'm so glad it finally came to this
You made my mind up for me
That's why I'm taking the easy way home...

VERSE 3:
(Piano)
Taking the easy way home
And baby it's all down to you
You gave me the perfect excuse
Driving me out of your life
Making me go way
So I'm taking the easy way...
Back home.
