“Easy Ride” is the closing track on Madonna’s ninth album, American Life.

[Verse 1]
I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me
[Verse 2]
I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun on my children's face
That's what I want
[Chorus]
I go 'round and 'round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground, I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
[Verse 3]
I want to let go of all
Disappointment, it's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place
That's what I want
[Chorus]
I go 'round and 'round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground, I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
I go 'round and 'round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground, I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home
[Outro]
I go 'round and 'round just
'Round and 'round just
