Lyrics
Seems to me
Everyone's cracking or breaking
Survival depends on each line
Every hustle and score
Nothing's free
Tonight could be giving or taking
And I plan to take what is mine
Or else what's it all for?
ON EASY STREET
THE TRAFFIC'S SMOOTH AS SCOTCH AND WATER
DON'T HAVE TO BE NO RICH MAN'S DAUGHTER
TO TAKE A WALK DOWN
EASY STREET
THE NIGHT IS SWEETER THAN A SMILE
AND I'LL BE TRAVELLING IN STYLE
WHEN I FLOAT DOWN EASY STREET
Was a time
When I didn't question or answer
Just laughed at the bridges I burned
No expectations at all
But through the grime
You can't tell the dance from the dancer
And one thing I finally learned
You'll never walk while they make you crawl
BUT ON EASY STREET
THE TRAFFIC'S SMOOTH AS SCOTCH AND WATER
DON'T HAVE TO BE NO RICH MAN'S DAUGHTER
TO TAKE A WALK DOWN
EASY STREET
I KNOW IT'S JUST A BLOCK AWAY NOW
I'M GONNA MAKE IT ANY DAY NOW
GONNA FLOAT DOWN EASY STREET
Your mama and your papa, hell, what did they ever know?
And lovers fade like moonlight on your sheet
If there's a God well I'll lay odds that he won't place or show
Till I get mine on easy street
CHORUS #1
GONNA FLOAT DOWN EASY STREET
TAKE ME DOWN EASY STREET, ETC.
GONNA FLOAT DOWN EASY STREET...
