Lyrics
1.
[4/4, slow but a little bouncy]
UN-EASY STREET
--Stan Good
1.
Robert was an administrator
Till he got the pink slip that said “See you later”
Now he’s sleepin’ in the back of his Escalade;
A couple spaces down, you might find Donna
She and her kid are living out of that Honda
When you ain’t got nothing, you don’t need a lot of space…
CHORUS:
Livin’ on UN-EASY STREET
Eatin’ out underneath the tree
Reclinin’ back in our bucket seats
Reminiscin’ how things used to be
When we all had jobs and stuff
And mortgages we all kept up
Now it all fits in a pickup truck
On Un-Easy Street.
2.
Don and his camper come from way off East
Chasin’ a job that went off overseas
Parked it here when he ran out of money and gas;
The kids like Don and his wife a lot
They got the only workin’ bathroom on this whole block
And we’ll keep supplyin’ ‘em toilet paper when we can…
CHORUS:
Livin’ on UN-EASY STREET
Eatin’ out underneath the tree
Reclinin’ back in our bucket seats
Reminiscin’ how things used to be
When we all had jobs and stuff
And mortgages we all kept up
Now it all fits in a pickup truck
On Un-Easy Street.
BRIDGE:
Mobile homes ain’t the same today
This one’s a four-door Chevrolet
Tags are expired and the engine’s froze
But I don’t really have any place to go
I meet folks from all over the U.S.A.
Lookin’ for something that just went away
An’ I learn a lot about the shape we’re in
When I hear them talking about where they’ve been
4.
At night, we can listen to the radio
If someone’s got a battery that ain’t run low
Or maybe swap stories of the good old days gone by;
It’s a reg’lar resort community
Of folks that got nothin’ and nowhere to be
On vacation from the necessities of life.
CHORUS:
Livin’ on UN-EASY STREET
Eatin’ out underneath the tree
Reclinin’ back in our bucket seats
Reminiscin’ how things used to be
When we all had jobs and stuff
And mortgages we had to keep up
Now it all fits in a pickup truck
On Un-Easy Street.
REPEAT LAST 2 LINES OF CHORUS TO END
