It Ought to Be Easier Lyrics


Tell your mama I love her
And tell your daddy I, I tried
And tell them I wish that I could explain
The way that I'm feelingSee the sun comes up on the pavement
The pavement it starts to sweat
The steam rises up from the water
And the hotter it is you know the harder it getsAnd it ought to be easier
When you turn your lights down low
And it ought to be easier
To leave when you know that you have to goI know you don't believe me
And I know you don't understand
But honey, the way that you treat me
I can't even tell who I amAnd you tell me I'm the one, you're not to blame
And you tell me I make you feel the same way
And we talk in circles but we never say
It's just out of weakness that both of us stayAnd it ought to be easier
When you turn your lights down low
And it ought to be easier

To leave when you know that you have to goI look at you when you're sleeping
And I think about how it could be
And if you would wake up and open your arms
And hold meBut you look at me when you wake up
With eyes that are angry and mean
And I turn away and walk into the kitchen
And I pray for the strength to leaveBecause it ought to be easier
When you turn your lights down low
And it ought to be easier
To leave when you know that you have to go
To leave when you know that you have to goSo tell your mama I love her
I hope she knows that I tried
And tell her I wish that I could explain
The way that I'm feelingSee the sun comes up on the pavement
The pavement, it starts to sweat
The steam rises up from the water
And the hotter it is, you know the harder it getsThe hotter it is, you know the harder it gets
The hotter it is, you know the harder it gets

Lyle Lovett is an americana singer-songwriter and actor from Klein, Texas, who has been described as "the thinking man's cowboy". While typically associated with the alt-country genre, his albums typically incorporate folk, swing, blues, jazz and gospel music as well as more traditional country & western styles. The Night's Lullaby Songfacts reports that after twenty-six years with Curb, Lyle Lovett released his eleventh and last album for the record label, Release Me, on February 28, 2012. The record is mainly made up of covers that Lovett has played, but never got round to recording.

The four-time Grammy winner has acted in a number of films and been a guest-star on television. Lovett was married to actress Julia Roberts for a short time in the mid-1990s. In 2002, he was gored by a bull while working on his uncle's farm in Texas, but soon recovered and resumed touring.
