Easy Street

[Verse 1]
Swingin' a hammer
Sweat pourin' down
Fixin' the road
On the high side of town
Watchin' Mercades and Rolls Royces roll on by

[Verse 2]
Some are born with money
Some of us got burned
Didn't have a thing
That I didn't earn
If this is livin' I'd have to do better to die

[Chorus]
(And/Yeah) I can feel the heat
Comin' up through the soles of a poor man's feet
Puttin' in a tough day
On Easy Street

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
A way of life
That I've never seen
Crystal mansions
And grass so green
On the other side of the fence between them and me

[Verse 4]
They got old money, new shoes
No worries, lord and no blues
Though I'm proud of the work I do
I'd trade this shovel
For that silver spoon

[Chorus twice]

[Outro]
Up on Easy Street
