"Scare Easy" is a song written and sung by Tom Petty. It featured on the debut album by rock band Mudcrutch featuring Petty and Mike Campbell. The song was used in a 2008 commercial for My Name Is Earl. ^[1] The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard chart. ^[2]

"Scare Easy" was described as being "full of the tones and lyrics of the mid 1970s. but the tight harmonies come from musicians who have matured." ^[3]

The song can also be heard over the end credits of the film Appaloosa (2008), a Western directed and starring Ed Harris and co-starring Viggo Mortensen and Renée Zellweger. However, "Scare Easy" does not appear on Jeff Beal's official soundtrack for the film.^{[ citation needed]}
