(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...
