The easy road was easy
We took the easy road
We had no plan to harvest
Wild random oats we sowed
A ready bunch of lads we were
Friendship was our creed
Style was our only banner
A true heart and God speed.
But the road of life , it tears you
Rips innocence away
And leaves a scar of wisdom
By which our debts are paid
For the easy road ain’t easy
It’s a hard road in the end
No man passes by unscathed
Or a woman, or a friend.
A curse then on this wisdom
Take me back unto that day
I heard an army laughing
Marching to the fray
And at the front the finest
The very best of men
And me not far behind them
How goes that song, again?
