Easy Money - Live

[Verse 1] He tried to look like he had a little bit of money He's a grifter with a southern drawl Well I could tell right away by the the way he was runnin' That the boy was just beggin' to crawl At least a junkie knows what he needs You get a man all strung out on his own greed And he'll give up everything he's got For just one shot Havin' it all [Verse 2] He'd taken every last cent of his savings On a trip down to the local track He had a tip from a friend Put it all down to win On a horse named Heart Attack Well now he ain't no fool, boys, he didn't bet it all So everything was cool when that horse took a fall But then he turned around and blew the rest tryin' to win it back [Chorus] He wanted easy money It's sad but it's true Everybody wants the most they can possibly get For the least they can possibly do They want that easy money I don't understand Lord, they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands On none of that easy money [Verse 3] Well she'd been watching him from a table Not too soft but not too tough Well she figured by the money he'd been throwin' around That he was damn-sure good-looking enough So she worked her way over, she shot him a wink He took his last five bucks and bought her a drink By the time they hit the Motel Six they figured they was in love, love, love, love [Chorus] She loved that easy money It's sad but it's true Everybody wants the most they can possibly get For the least they can possibly do They want that easy money I don't understand Lord, they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands On none of that easy money [Verse 4] It must have been about two weeks later He gets a call from one of his business friend Who'd found a sure-fire steal of this big investment deal And Dumplin', would you believe he's gonna let both of us in? So they took all their savings out of the bank And on the way home they stopped to gas up her tank She stepped in for some ciggs and she never saw that fucker again [Chorus] He wanted easy money It's sad but it's true Everybody wants the most they can possibly get For the least they can possibly do They want that easy money I don't understand Lord, they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands On none of that easy money Lord, they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands On none of that easy money [Outro] I know [you're somewhere?] I can [go?] But I like it, I like it Yes I do
