[Verse 1]
Boots on the dirt, dust on my jeans
Mama said, "Son, keep it clean"
Got a tin roof beat and a mango tree
A long slow road, but it carries me

Morning light on the bamboo fence
Old man smile and a six-string sense
Every hard day, it drifts away
When the drum comes in, I’m okay

[Pre-Chorus]
So I lift my hands up high
Let the heavy sky roll by
If the load gets too much, I know
There’s a little place my heart can go

[Chorus]
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road
Easy now, easy now
Let the whole wide worry go
Hold me close, keep me near
We can dance our troubles clear
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road

[Verse 2]
Red clay shoes and a shirt half torn
Still I laugh when the break of dawn
Kids on the lane with a ball of string
Singing loud like they own the spring

I seen storms, yeah, I seen rain
Seen good friends walk through the flame
But the same moon rise, the same sea roll
And that old sweet tune still saves my soul

[Pre-Chorus]
So I lift my hands up high
Let the heavy sky roll by
If the load gets too much, I know
There’s a little place my heart can go

[Chorus]
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road
Easy now, easy now
Let the whole wide worry go
Hold me close, keep me near
We can dance our troubles clear
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road

[Bridge]
When the night comes down real slow
And you don’t know where to go
Hear that heartbeat in the ground
It says, "Child, turn around"

[Chorus]
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road
Easy now, easy now
Let the whole wide worry go
Hold me close, keep me near
We can dance our troubles clear
Easy now, easy now
We gon' ride this river road
