Easys Getting Harder Every Day
Iris DeMent
Standin' barefoot on a cold wood floor lookin' out the window of my back door If it keeps on rainin' I think the whole damn house is gonna float away The alarm was buzzin' at the break of dawn my husband's askin' "Is the coffee on?" And easy's gettin' harder every day I'll drop the baby off at school at nine and bust the lights to get to work on time Where I'll be starin' at the clock waitin' to knock off another day Supper's done we'll watch some TV show of a bunch of folks who've never heard of Idaho Where easy's gettin' harder every day I had a garden but my flowers died there ain't much livin' here inside Lately I don't know what I'm hold-in' on to Wished I could run away to Coeur d'Alene take nothing with me not even my name 'Cause easy's gettin' harder every day We make love and then we kiss goodnight he rolls over and he's out like a light But I ain't mad about it we got nothing to talk a-bout anyway The lights are blinkin' on the radio tower and I lie awake and stare at them for hours and hours For easy's gettin' harder every day I had a garden but my flowers died there ain't much livin' here inside Lately I don't know what I'm hold-in' on to But I'll never make it up to Coeur d'Alene there ain't no chance of me forgetting my name And easy's gettin' harder every day And it feels like easy just keeps on gettin' harder every day
