lyrics

Easy Street © Cowboy Bob Sawyer 2005

Where in the hell is Easy Street?
I wanna make lots of money, but not have to work
Yeah that’s the job for me
Well I’ve searched the want ads high & low
But every boss man tells me just where to go
And I’m telling ya friend, it twernt on easy street

Well I’ve been working dang near all my life,
Puttin the smoke in another mans pipe
And I figured it’s time that I took up smokin too

When I saw this ad on the television set,
Bout how I can buy houses and get lots of rent
And do all this without even putting a penny down

So I found me house with a two car garage,
A swimming pool, like the movie stars
It even had a little dude holdin a lamp in the front yard

So smiling big, I went to get my keys,
but when I walked through the door I heard someone yell freeze
And the next thing ya know I was sitting in the county jail
...Something bout breaking and entering

Where in the hell is Easy Street?
I wanna make lots of money, but not have to work
Yeah that’s the job for me
Well I’ve searched the want ads high & low
But every boss man tells me just where to go
And I’m telling ya friend, it twernt on easy street

I was kicked back & listenin to the ra-di-o
When this dude said man I got your pot of gold,
Its called online trading, and there's a ton of cash to be made

All you need is a computer and a telephone line
And before you know it you’ll be livin real fine
Its like playin the casino, without all that ding ding ding

So I got hooked up and was a stock market fiend
I was trading coffee & jellybeans,
IBM and Kmart to name a few

But then coffee went down, so did the beans
Kmart went under and they took my dreams
And IBM kept the I and left me with a BM

Where in the hell is Easy Street?
I wanna make lots of money, but not have to work,
Yeah that’s the job for me
Well I’ve searched the want ads high & low
But every boss man tells me just where to go
And I’m telling ya friend, it twernt on easy street

Where in the hell is Easy Street?
I wanna make lots of money, but not have to work
Yeah that’s the job for me
Well I’ve searched the want ads high & low
But every boss man tells me just where to go
And I’m telling ya friend, it twernt on easy street

Can someone point me out to easy street!
