Goodbye Easy Street Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

John Inmon 

Well the sun went down 

On Easy Street 

She's been closed down for the winter 

She stopped to take a rest 

Or maybe push us from the nest 

It's just a dance that the shadows do 

Chorus: 

And it's goodbye, goodbye Easy Street 

Once you say goodbye, it is goodbye 

And it's goodbye, goodbye Easy Street 

This is goodbye, this is goodbye 

At the carnival 

In the sweet summer time 

You get sick from eating too much candy 

And the leaves they change 

And you change your train 

It's just a dance that the shadows do 

Chorus 

Like a bell that must be rung 

Or a song that should be sung 

Or a story that's never ending 

She'll hold you to her breast 

Then she'll put you to the test 

It's just a dance that the shadows do 

Chorus
