When It Don't Come Easy Lyrics & Chords By Patty Griffin

Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're going to ever get home
I wonder if we're going to ever get home tonight
Everywhere the water's getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're going to ever get home tonight

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you
When it don't come easy

I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time gets moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're going to ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you
When it don't come easy
When it don't come easy

So many things that I had before
It don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
And when the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
It's only love we were looking for

When you break down
I'll drive out and find you
When you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you
When it don't come easy
When it don't come easy
