Easy Tiger

Her and I are in a native fire
Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes
It was bright but it don't burn anymore
Nothing'll change come Christmas time
You can stay where you want at night
Just promise when love comes knocking, you'll answer the door

Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
Don't blame your mother; 'least we tried
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life

She meets less frequently
I've come to find out what that means
It was months, now a day would be house
They say, many summers far from a car
Damn your firstborn into the tar
Come mother's day, she'll be bringing him the flowers

Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
A lovely mother left behind
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
Wish that I could tell you why

Least you know you love the boy
It's why you feel you're worth the stride
Just follow the from the other side
Not his area of expertise, no
Plenty of fish analogies
They say you have to eat eventually, he spoke

Easy, tiger, don't you cry
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
Another lover you'll come to find
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
That's just the way of life
People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
Wish that I could tell you why
Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
All the damn time
