Easy Tiger

Her and I met in native fire
 Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes
 It was bright but it don't burn anymore
 Nothing'll change come Christmas time
 You can stay where you want at night
 Just promise when love comes knockin', you'll answer the door
 Easy, tiger, don't you cry
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 That's just the way of life
 Don't blame your mother, least we tried
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 That's just the way of life
 The machine beeps less frequently
 They've gone to find out what that means
 It was months, now it may only be hours
 They say, ma'am your son was far from a coward
 Damn near first one into the tower
 Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers
 Easy, tiger, don't you cry
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 That's just the way of life
 A lovely mother left behind
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 Wish that I could tell you why
 Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
 Least you know you love the boy
 It's why you feel you were destroyed
 His father applied from the other side of the door
 Not his area of expertise, no
 "Plenty of fish" analogies
 He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport"
 Easy, tiger, don't you cry
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 That's just the way of life
 Another lover you'll come to find
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 That's just the way of life
 People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 Wish that I could tell you why
 Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you
 All the damn time
