Easy Money

He tried to look like he had a little bit of money A grifter with a southern drawl Well I could tell right away by the way he was runnin' That the boy was just a beggin' to crawl. At least a junkie knows what he needs You get a man all strung out on green He'll give up everything he's got For just a one shot at havin' it all. He took every last cent of his savings On a trip to the local track He had a tip from a friend, bet 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 Trying to win it all back 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. God they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands on no easy money. Now she'd been watching him from her table Not too soft but not too tough Well she figured by the money he'd been throwing 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 He bought her a drink By the time they hit the Motel 6 They figured they was in love (love love love) She loved that easy money It's sad but it's true Everybody wants the most they can possible get For the least they can possibly do They want that easy money I don't understand. Lord God they scheme and they plan But they can't get their hands on that easy money. Tell it like it is, all right It must have been about two weeks later He got a call from a business friend Who'd found a sure-fire steal of an investment deal And honey guess what? 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 the tank She stepped in for some cigs And she never saw the fucker again He got that easy money It's sad but it's true Everybody wants the most they can possible get For the least they can possibly do He thinks it's easy money I don't understand. You scheme and you plan You ain't got your hands on no easy money. You scheme and you plan You ain't got your hands on no easy money.
