“Easy From Now On” is the opening track to the album Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town, which takes its name from a line in the first verse.
The song was written by Harris’s close friend and fellow songwriter Susanna Clark, who also painted the cover art for the album.
[Verse 1]
There he goes, gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Loving him was a one way street
But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet
[Verse 2]
Quarter moon in a ten-cent town
It's time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night, I'm gonna make myself a name
Take a month of Sundays to try and explain
[Chorus]
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no-good man
And I'll be riding high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on
[Verse 3]
Raw as a whip, but clean as a bone
Soft to the touch when you take me home
When the morning comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry about me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
[Chorus]
It's gonna be easy to fill the heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no-good man
And I'll be riding high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on
