Easy Money - Live Todd Snider

[Verse 1]
He tried to look like he had a little bit of money
He's a grifter with a southern drawl
Well I could tell right away by the the way he was runnin'
That the boy was just beggin' to crawl
At least a junkie knows what he needs
You get a man all strung out on his own greed
And he'll give up everything he's got
For just one shot
Havin' it all

[Verse 2]
He'd taken every last cent of his savings
On a trip down to the local track
He had a tip from a friend
Put 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 tryin' to win it back

[Chorus]
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
Lord, they scheme and they plan
But they can't get their hands
On none of that easy money
