Song Notes:

Let me down easy, she begs, in a smoldering blues delivery that tells a classic tale of forbidden love, longing, obsession, and infidelity. Vinny Roth follows behind reinterpreting the story with some truly soulful lead guitar work. One of the things we tried to do with this song is take our time with it - letting it unfold and carry us along.

Lyrics

Let me down easy
Don't make me cry
I know you don't love me
but don't tell me why

I'm not in your plan
You're another woman's man
But let me down easy
Easy

Don't you tease me
Don't lead me on
Don't hold me against you
'cause I'll try to hold on

I'm not in your plan
You're another woman's man
Let me down easy
Easy

I wanna do the
right thing
the cool thing
the smart thing
the right thing

Hey somebody
get this girl a gold star

But when you change your mind
very soon you're gonna find
me knocking, yeah me knocking
on your door--

...easy...

I wanna do the
right thing
the cool thing
the smart thing
the white thing

Hey somebody
get this girl a gold star

But when you change your mind
very soon you're gonna find
me knocking, yeah me knocking
on your door

Let me down easy
and I'll try to be strong

Well that's just the way life goes
you can't always get what you want
But we do what we can

You're another woman's man--

Let me
Let me down easy
Come on let me
Let me down easy
Why don't you let me
Let me down easy
Come on and let me
let me down easy--

Well Let me
Let me down easy
Come on and let me
Let me down easy
Why don't you let me
Let me down easy
Come on and let me
Let me down easy

Easy--
