Easy Peaches
I love peaches. Nothing better. But there are other life forms that I am certain love them more. I dedicate these lyrics to the lovers of fruit. The ones with two legs and the ones with two wings. The ending is a bit bitter, but Mother Nature brought us into this world, and she can take us out. Enjoy.

Verse 1.
I grew up in the southern state of Georgia.
My peer groups were the birds and the dandelions.
Short distance from Fort Valley
was a lonely tree of peaches
seeded there, forgotten over time.
In summer days I'd make my way to see her.
She'd welcome me and offer up some shade.
As open as a flower she would talk to me for hours.
Each tasty word as sweet as her bouquet.
Chorus.
Easy Peaches.
Someone left you all alone.
Easy Peaches.
Grass around you overgrown.
Easy Peaches.
I'll take care of you each day.
Easy Peaches.
Leaves me speechless.
Verse 2.
The seasons came and went with no real drama.
A poacher now and then we didn't mind.
But somewhere we lost the favor of a moody Mother Nature,
who blew unto and threw my peach tree down.
Chorus.
Easy Peaches.
Please don't leave me all alone.
Easy Peaches.
You're my rock, my cornerstone.
Easy Peaches.
Without you I lose my home.
Easy Peaches.
You're in pieces.
Verse 3.
The trauma of that tragic day still lingers.
Her saccharin. Her broken limbs. Her cries.
As I lay here on my deathbed,
leave none of you 'til I've said,
that Nature hates the fruits that love the flies.
Chorus.
Easy Peaches.
All the forces disapproved.
Easy Peaches.
Even though our love was true.
Easy Peaches.
Should've never pestered you.
Easy Peaches.
We were foolish.
