[Verse]

I'm feelin' a little restless James warm up my limousine

Take me to the top of some ole mountain And let me out

Aw I'll be alright

It's just that things got tough on Easy Street tonight

It's hard on Easy Street some time

Blue on Easy Street some days

I thought our place in the sun

Was made in the shade

But it ain't no bed of roses

Up on Easy Street these days

G C

Don't worry 'bout the gold my heart's not that cold

I'm only takin' two things when I leave

One life so I can live it

C G

One love so I can give it where I please

It's hard on Easy Street some time

Blue on Easy Street some days

I thought our place in the sun

Was made in the shade

But it ain't no bed of roses

Up on Easy Street these days

I thought our place in the sun

Was made in the shade

But it ain't no bed of roses

Up on Easy Street these days
