Play me something nice and easy Let the music be an old familiar friend Help me hold this pretty lady tight Play that good old hurtin' songs again I heard you say that's closing time I'm sure you're tired you played a lot tonight It's takin' me this long but that old beer would let me down enough To get a cheatin' woman off my mind Play me something nice and easy... [ fiddle ] I'm sure by now you heard enough Stories like the ones I put you through But if you could play me one more song the one about a love gone wrong I'll find the way to make it up to you Play me something nice and easy... Help me hold this pretty lady tight Play that good old hurtin' songs again
