dierk bentley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Free and easy down the road I go
Hanging memories on the high line poles
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go
Ragweed's rocking on the radio
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go
Got the sun shining on me like a big spotlight
So I know everything is gonna be alright
Ain't no telling where the wind might blow
Free and easy down the road I go
Living life like a Sunday stroll
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go
If you only get to go around one time
I'm gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride
I could make a million or wind up broke
Free and easy down the road I go
Can't take it with you when you go, so
Free and easy down the road I go
Someday I know it's gonna take me home, so
Free and easy down the road I go
Free and easy down the road I go

I don't think this song could have ever been recorded or even written back in the days of Classic Country. To me, it leans more in the direction of the progressive country that came later. But, not so far that it hides or betrays its Classic roots.
That is, it doesn't come across as almost a pop song. At least, not to me. In fact, I bet some of those past music greats that came later would have liked some of the newer music.
I get a laugh out of this one little tidbit regarding this particular song.
I used to talk to and email a friend of mine. We both like music. But, he had a lot more relatives in the south and southwest than I did. So, I think he felt more in touch with this kind of music.
I was talking to him on the phone about this song, and that I liked it, at least 10 years ago. He knew the song I meant. But, he couldn't remember the name of the artist.
When I told him it was 'Dierks Bentley', he corrected me right away:
"Oh, yeah, Dirk Smedley. I've heard of him before". He sounded serious.
I tried once to tell him the name I'd heard to him again. But, he just repeated his original version.
I knew him well enough to just let it go. I never win in this arena. Besides, he likes to kid around quite a bit at times. He might have been pulling my leg.
I love this happy sounding song. And I do think of that Smedley guy every time I hear it.
In fact, I just now did a quick check on Wikipedia, to make sure the other spelling wasn't there. But, I think I'm safe--no Smedleys here. Lol.

My stepfather was a Puerto Rican from Brooklyn, New York. He met my momma in Mississippi and was like my real dad. He loved country songs like this. May he rest in Heaven
