This song was a special favorite of my brother a long, long time ago. I have no idea what the name of the song actually is, nor who composed or performed it. All I know for sure is a single passage that goes something like this..

...ride me down easy, Lord ride me on down. ... the earth where I lay...

This is not much but it is all I have.

Can anyone help?

Thank you very much.

RIDE ME DOWN EASY
Writer: Billy Joe Shaver

The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
The rides, they're as scarce as the rain
When you're down to your last SHUCK with nothin' to sell
And too far away from the trains.

Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago
Had a tall drink of yesterdays's wine
Left a long string of friends, some sheets in the wind
And some satisfied women behind.

CHORUS
Hey, ride me down easy, Lord, ride me on down
Leave word in the dust where I lay
Say I'm easy come, easy go
And easy to love when I stay.

Put snow on the mountain, raised hell on the hill
Locked horns with the devil himself
Been a rodeo bum, a son of a gun
And a hobo with stars in his crown.

CHORUS
