[Verse 1] You left your coat on the chair by the door Your coffee’s gone cold, your key’s on the floor I kept your Sunday letter folded in two But the ink can’t explain what I’m supposed to do [Chorus] You took the easy road, left me the hard way home You took the easy road, left me here alone I’ll keep this old room till the morning comes through Then I’ll find my own way, done waiting on you [Verse 2] The landlord came knocking at quarter past ten I told him your name, then I told him again He shook his head slow, said, “Son, let it go” But he never sat up listening for your step on the stairs below [Chorus] You took the easy road, left me the hard way home You took the easy road, left me here alone I’ll keep this old room till the morning comes through Then I’ll find my own way, done waiting on you [Guitar Solo] [Harmonica Solo] [Bridge] I won’t curse your leaving, I won’t beg you to stay I’ll take my name off your mailbox today There’s a bus at first light, and a town down the line I’ve been carrying your trouble; now I’m carrying mine [Final Chorus] You took the easy road, left me the hard way home You took the easy road, but I won’t stay alone I’ll leave this old room when the morning comes through I’ll find my own way, done waiting on you [Outro] Done waiting on you Done waiting on you
