Easy Money

G
He tried to look like he had a 
little bit of money
     C
A drifter with a southern drawl
              G
Well I could tell right away by the 
way he was runnin'
          D
That the boy was just a beggin' to 
crawl.
G
At least a junkie knows what he 
needs
           C
You get a man all strung out on his 
own greed
                  G
He'll give up everything he's got
                D               
For just a one shot at havin' it 
  G
all.


G
He took every last cent of his 
savings
C
On a trip to the local track
G
He had a tip from a friend, bet it 
all down to win
D
On a horse named heart attack.
G
Well now he ain't no fool boys, he 
didn't bet it all
C
So everything was cool when that 
horse took a fall
G                                 
But then he turned around and blew
      D
 the rest
                      G
Trying to win it all back

He wanted easy money
                    G
It's sad but it's true
                     D
Everybody wants the most they can 
possibly get
          G
For the least they can possibly do
                      C
They want that easy money
             G
I don't understand.
                          D
God they scheme and they plan
                           C       
But they can't get their hands on 
         G
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.
