Easy Money
written by David A. Alberding

Homeward bound on Jersey 40
With the sunrise at my back
If I had the change, I'd pay the toll
But the dealer stole my jack

I don't know what I was thinking
I should have pocketed that dough
That's why they call me Easy Money
Easy come, and easy go

I was a man bent on a mission
A noble knight with a sure thing
I would wager on my love for you
And bring you home a ring

I guess nobody told the dealer
If he knew, he did not show
He took all my easy money
Easy come, and easy go

Now I'm not saying I wasn't up, I made a solid bet or two
I split my aces and I doubled down
just like the books say you should do
Instead of cashing in my chips
when it was clear my luck was through
I anted in another shuffle till all I had left was you
Now all I have left is you

I guess I'll work a little longer
Hope you'll stick around until you know
You're worth more than easy money
Easy come, and easy go
Easy come, and easy go
