Easy Money - Todd Snider[00:00:00]
He tried to look like he had a little bit of money[00:00:09]
A grifter with a southern drawl[00:00:14]
Well I could tell right away by the way he was runnin'[00:00:18]
That the boy was just a beggin' to crawl [00:00:22]
At least a junkie knows what he needs[00:00:28]
You get a man all strung out on green[00:00:32]
He'll give up everything he's got[00:00:36]
For just a one shot at havin' it all [00:00:39]
He took every last cent of his savings[00:00:45]
On a trip to the local track[00:00:50]
He had a tip from a friend bet it all down to win[00:00:54]
On a horse named heart attack [00:00:59]
Well now he ain't no fool boys he didn't bet it all[00:01:04]
So everything was cool when that horse took a fall[00:01:08]
But then he turned around and blew the rest[00:01:12]
Trying to win it all back[00:01:15]
He wanted easy money[00:01:20]
It's sad but it's true[00:01:25]
Everybody wants the most they can possibly get[00:01:29]
For the least they can possibly do[00:01:35]
They want that easy money[00:01:38]
I don't understand [00:01:43]
God they scheme and they plan[00:01:47]
But they can't get their hands on no easy money [00:01:50]
Now she'd been watching him from her table[00:01:57]
Not too soft but not too tough[00:02:02]
Well she figured by the money he'd been throwing around[00:02:06]
That he was damn sure good-looking enough[00:02:11]
So she worked her way over[00:02:15]
She shot him a wink[00:02:18]
He took his last five bucks[00:02:20]
He bought her a drink[00:02:22]
By the time they hit the Motel 6[00:02:24]
They figured they was in love (love love love)[00:02:28]
She loved that easy money[00:02:32]
It's sad but it's true[00:02:37]
Everybody wants the most they can possible get[00:02:41]
For the least they can possibly do[00:02:47]
They want that easy money[00:02:50]
I don't understand [00:02:55]
Lord God they scheme and they plan[00:02:59]
But they can't get their hands on that easy money [00:03:02]
Tell it like it is all right[00:03:07]
It must have been about two weeks later[00:03:46]
He got a call from a business friend[00:03:50]
Who'd found a sure-fire steal of an investment deal[00:03:54]
And honey guess what He's gonna let both of us in[00:03:59]
So they took all their savings out of the bank[00:04:03]
And on the way home they stopped to gas up the tank[00:04:08]
She stepped in for some cigs[00:04:12]
And she never saw the f**ker again[00:04:14]
He got that easy money[00:04:19]
It's sad but it's true[00:04:25]
Everybody wants the most they can possible get[00:04:28]
For the least they can possibly do[00:04:34]
He thinks it's easy money[00:04:38]
I don't understand [00:04:43]
You scheme and you plan[00:04:47]
You ain't got your hands on no easy money [00:04:49]
You scheme and you plan[00:04:56]
You ain't got your hands on no easy money[00:04:58]
