I guess the money's all dried up 'Cause when I drive to work, the Road is all broken And the cars are on blocks And the old man at the bus stop Waitin' to get picked up to get dropped off He'll work ten hours and then two more hours to get home Lord, I need Easy Street I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground Lord, I need Easy Street I won't watch one more good person get jerked around Lord, I need (Easy) Easy Street Well they don't care 'bout us 'Cause their jobs don't pay enough And the factories are all rust And the trucks caught fire And if the whole thing's gone wrong Guess I'll pack my bag and get long gone If I drive all night I can get to the ocean by dawn 'Cause Lord, I need Easy Street I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground Lord, I need Easy Street I won't watch one more good person get jerked around Lord, I need (Easy) Easy Street The lady walkin' on Main Street The guys hangin' on the side street The kids runnin' down Fifth Street They're all just like me Lord, I need Easy Street I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground Lord, I need Easy Street I won't watch one more good person gettin' put down I need Easy Street I need Easy Street Easy Street Easy Street
