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
