Go Easy Lyrics
Pack it up and leave it, leave it all behind you
Start it fresh in someone else’s town
And though we may be leaving, I’ll be right beside you
To pick you up until you come around
So please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy
Please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy
Down here can be tough, without your friends beside you
You built it up, just to knock it down
So when you’re feeling rough, I’ll be right behind you
To pick you up until you come around
So please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy
Please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy [x2]
Start it fresh in someone else’s town
And though we may be leaving, I’ll be right beside you
To pick you up until you come around
Please, go easy
Please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy
You built it up, just to knock it down
So when you’re feeling rough, I’ll be right behind you
To pick you up until you come around
Please, go easy
Please, go easy with my baby
Please, go easy [x2]

This song is interesting because it is approaching the subject from two different directions. The verses are about leaving things behind and moving, and how that is difficult, but Mac will be there for you. Then, the chorus seems addressed to the audience that might be dealing with an uprooted person saying, hey go easy with the new kid. Most songs don't switch audience like this.
