[00:00.000]Easy Money - Todd Snider
[00:09.600]He tried to look like he had a little bit of money
[00:14.415]A grifter with a southern drawl
[00:18.312]Well I could tell right away by the way he was runnin'
[00:22.936]That the boy was just a beggin' to crawl
[00:28.497]At least a junkie knows what he needs
[00:32.834]You get a man all strung out on green
[00:36.782]He'll give up everything he's got
[00:39.028]For just a one shot at havin' it all
[00:45.857]He took every last cent of his savings
[00:50.299]On a trip to the local track
[00:54.560]He had a tip from a friend bet it all down to win
[00:59.310]On a horse named heart attack
[01:04.061]Well now he ain't no fool boys he didn't bet it all
[01:08.439]So everything was cool when that horse took a fall
[01:12.608]But then he turned around and blew the rest
[01:15.892]Trying to win it all back
[01:20.264]He wanted easy money
[01:25.654]It's sad but it's true
[01:29.634]Everybody wants the most they can possibly get
[01:35.138]For the least they can possibly do
[01:38.583]They want that easy money
[01:43.638]I don't understand
[01:47.514]God they scheme and they plan
[01:50.326]But they can't get their hands on no easy money
[01:57.579]Now she'd been watching him from her table
[02:02.063]Not too soft but not too tough
[02:06.584]Well she figured by the money he'd been throwing around
[02:11.331]That he was damn sure good-looking enough
[02:15.708]So she worked her way over
[02:18.657]She shot him a wink
[02:20.222]He took his last five bucks
[02:22.923]He bought her a drink
[02:24.616]By the time they hit the Motel 6
[02:28.126]They figured they was in love (love love love)
[02:32.342]She loved that easy money
[02:37.497]It's sad but it's true
[02:41.565]Everybody wants the most they can possible get
[02:47.040]For the least they can possibly do
[02:50.800]They want that easy money
[02:55.486]I don't understand
[02:59.485]Lord God they scheme and they plan
[03:02.109]But they can't get their hands on that easy money
[03:07.501]Tell it like it is all right
[03:46.016]It must have been about two weeks later
[03:50.273]He got a call from a business friend
[03:54.555]Who'd found a sure-fire steal of an investment deal
[03:59.085]And honey guess what He's gonna let both of us in
[04:03.470]So they took all their savings out of the bank
[04:08.175]And on the way home they stopped to gas up the tank
[04:12.376]She stepped in for some cigs
[04:14.628]And she never saw the f**ker again
[04:19.989]He got that easy money
[04:25.175]It's sad but it's true
[04:28.380]Everybody wants the most they can possible get
[04:34.395]For the least they can possibly do
[04:38.208]He thinks it's easy money
[04:43.237]I don't understand
[04:47.050]You scheme and you plan
[04:49.689]You ain't got your hands on no easy money
[04:56.518]You scheme and you plan
[04:58.581]You ain't got your hands on no easy money
