Emerson Drive - Easy Street lyrics

rate me

You're late again boy

I showed up at the office in my workboots, jeans and t-shirt

Boss said that's a good way to lose a job

You shoulda seen the look on his face

When I emptied out my briefcase

I said I think I'll take the rest of my life off

I've got a brand new Beemer that I'm tradin up

For a run down puddle jumpin' pick'em up truck

Got a camper shell and wrap-a-rack

I've been to the top now I'm going back to Easy Street

CHORUS

Well the road to success leads back to the woods

Down to the creek where the fishing is good

Maid in the shade and fine champaigne

Sipping lemonade under an old oak tree

You don't worry about the cost of living getting too high

When you've got everything money can buy

Guess you can die for free on Easy Street

Now when I buy stock

I go to the local farmers' market

It's a heavy trading at the auction barn

I can get more motivation from old timer's conversation

Then I ever got from a corporate seminar

Now I call living high on a hog

Poor child screaming eatin' corn on the cob

Plunk my feet on Fifth Avenue

For a 40 acre farm with a country view

On Easy Street

CHORUS

You don't worry about the cost of living getting too high

When you've got everything money can buy

Guess you can die for free on Easy Street

If you're looking for me I'll be down in Easy Street

I got your jobs 'round here
