For the unemployed...

indie acoustic folk country americana

TexScratch

Retired military solo artist; Tex/Americana/Folk singer/songwriter. 'Scratch' is my military handle and TexScratch a stage name just for the purpose of having a stage name, I suppose... Let's Talk Guild (LTG) guitar forum friends inspired many tunes and the inclination to purchase far too many Guild Guitars over the years...

Lyrics

Easy Street
Ken Smith (07/11/2012)
(Capo three frets to 'G' & played in 'D')

     
I've heard of a place they call Easy Street; 
Folks up there, they've got it made
	
Don't think I'll ever find Easy Street; 
These bills we have may not get paid

People living there have occupations; 
40 hour weeks plus overtime
The unemployed in a once great nation; 
Left at the station, far behind

	
It's not a bed of roses that I'm seeking; 
Just a job to keep a family fed
From Washington we hear the words you're speaking; 
Now we're critiquing those things you said
	
Some say no problems on Easy Street;  
You take your lemons, you make your lemonade
Lots of smiley faces on Easy Street; 
Changes promised; arrangements made


You'll find many favors on Easy Street;  
On Easy Street your debts, they all get paid
If not by you then by your neighbor; 
but there's no waiver for those betrayed


I've heard of a place they call Easy Street; 
Folks find their way when they've got it made
For those residing there on Easy Street; life is sunshine;.... 
but there's no shade

out....
