Easy Money (Vermont Street Sessions)

[Verse 1]
I made arrangements to trade a paycheck in some shady parking lot
I met the dealer, herbal healer, the minute I got off the clock
And you called on the ride home
You said “watch out for cop cars and drive slow”

[Verse 2]
Dated carpet, old apartment, but we made the place our own
Birthday string lights, they just felt right so we left them on the walls
We got high in the kitchen
And I watched as you danced ’til the sun slipped in

[Chorus]
I know easy monеy is hard to come by
I got easy money whеn you’re by my side

[Verse 3]
You drove to LA to watch the band play, to watch me wrestle with the truth
Bid 'em farewell, climbed the stairwell and got drunk on my cousin’s roof
And we stared at the skyline
Pretending not to care about the Hollywood sign

[Chorus 2]
I know easy money is hard to come by
I got easy money when you’re by my side
Even in darkness, when it’s the hardest, tell me we’ll be alright
'Cause I need easy money, easy money tonight

[Outro]
Wish I had more to give ya honey
I’ve been California dreaming honey
Wish I had more to give ya honey
Wish I had more to give you
