Lyrics
Verse: A rockin’ chair on Easy Street.
A squeakin’ board underneath my feet.
Keepin’ time, keepin’ time to that lazy beat.
Verse: A harp blows soft that mournful creed.
A washboard helps the rhythm need.
Keepin’ time, keepin’ time to that lazy beat.
Verse: Got my cigar box guitar cryin’ on my knee.
A bit out of tune, just leave it be.
Keepin’ time, keepin’ time to that lazy beat.
Verse: (I hear) That dog house bass thumpin’ low and free.
(While) My barefoot diva sings the blues to me.
Keepin’ time, keepin’ time to that lazy beat.
Yeah, that’s Easy Street…
Tell ‘em like it is baby…
Verse: Easy Street, it means the same to me.
At the end of a clay dirt road, that is where I’ll be.
Sittin’ on the porch drinkin’ corn that’s been squeezed.
Hangin’ ‘round playin’ the blues, just my friends and me.
…Yeah that’s Easy Street
…Yeah that’s Easy Street
Chorus: Where we don’t need no money
Don’t need no big fine car.
Just a life a bit out of tune
‘cause you been playin’ it real hard
…Yeah that’s Easy Street!
…Yeah that’s Easy Street!
Chorus: No you don’t need no money
Ain’t got to be no star.
Find a strong hard lovin’ man,
And a little blues deep in your heart.
…Yeah that’s Easy Street
…Lawd that’s Easy Street
…Yeah, that’s Easy Street… (spoken)
“Keepin’ time, keeping time to that lazy beat.…Yeah, that’s Easy Street……end
