Ease  Back  (LP  Version)  -  The  Meters

Hello

It's  good  to  see  you  coming  back  again

It's  been  a  long  time

Since  I  sat  with  you,  my  friend

I'll  lend  an  ear

It's  not  that  so  severe

Time  has  killed  the  pain

And  dried  up  every  tear

And  now

I'm  thinking  bout  what  went,  down

All  the  heartache

I  laughed  away

Just  like  a  clown

And  now

Sit  around  talking

Drink  some  wine

I'm  really  glad  you  stopped  in

Spend  some  time

You  sit  around  talking

Thinking  bout  the  past

It's  funny  how  it  lingers

But  nothings  meant  to  last

And  my  Ma

She'd  like  to  say  hello

But  shes  a  little  scared

That  I  can't  let  it  go

So  let  on,  ease  back,  brother

And  let  it  slip  away

I'm  tired  of  hanging  onto

The  pains  of  yesterday

Once  again

The  money  is  so  thick

It  makes  your  heart  go  numb

It  makes  your  mind  get  sick

So  come  on  by

Stay  and  talk  about  it

Drink  some  wine

I'm  really  glad  you  stopped  in,  brother  of  mine

We'll  sit  around  talking

Drink  some  wine

And  maybe  by  the  morning  everything  is  fine

Everything  is  fine

Ease  back,  brother

Let  this  clear  your  mind

Come  on  by

And  drink  yourself  a  good  time

Have  some  wine

And  think  about  each  other

Sister  and  I  are  fine

Yes,  I've  been  alright  now

Take  it  lightly

Step  on  out  the  front  door

I'll  see  you  in  some  time
