You Took the Easy Way Out

(Dottie West - Bill West - Stonewall Jackson)



You said our love was not the same

And that I was all to blame

You took the easy way out

And though I loved you heart and soul

It's not the story that you told

You took the easy way out.



You came home while I was gone

Packed your things and moved along

You took the easy way out

Left me alone to explain to our friends

And bear the shame

While you took the easy way out.

You came home while I was gone

Packed your things and moved along

You took the easy way out

Left me alone to explain to our friends

And bear the shame

While you took the easy way out.



Yes, you took the easy way out...
