	Story Behind the Song Originally written in double time with more of a rock feel - But jazzy chord changes really came alive with slower "blues" tempo. Lesson learned: Be sure to play with tempo - it can be surprising! Lyrics He drives his Pontiac to see her in the dead of night, A cokehead stripper called Jacque-lyne. He’s built like a bull, but gentle as rain, He just likes cheap women cause it’s easier that way. Easier …that way Easier …let lay Easier - play it safe. It’s easier that way He used to love a lady who spoke Shakespeare rhymes, He was out of his class; he went out of his mind. So his mamma dragged him home and back to church each day. Back to prayin’ sweet Jesus cause it’s easier that way His life, it might be great, If he just had the guts to break Free from his blue-collar, Baptist chains. Cause in the end, it’s nothing ventured, nothing gained. He drives his Pontiac to see her every night A cokehead stripper who became his wife He’s still working at the pit stop every day. It’s a job, it’s a living and it’s… easier that way.
