No matter how I seem to struggle and strive
To keep my body and my soul alive
Holes in my pockets, water in my shoes
Lady luck is long overdue
I heard that she's been running with that uptown crowd
They laugh too much and they talk too loud
The taste of a new life must be so sweet
I heard she's living up on Easy Street
Easy Street, oh yes
Up on Easy Street
Rubbing shoulders with the social elite
I heard she's living up on Easy Street
That kind of woman's got that certain appeal
Cold cash and a hot set of wheels
She says, "Come on sugar, put yourself in the driver's seat
I'll show you loving that can't be beat."
And the next time you see me strolling past
I'll be top drawer, first rate and so high class
I tip my hat should we ever chance to meet
Taking life easy up on Easy Street
Easy Street, oh yes
Up on Easy Street
Ha, hobnobbing with the social elite
I heard she's living up on Easy Street
I know she's up there in Kelsey's Den
Yes, the way I see it, nothing's really for sure
You just wind up dead or someplace wishing that you were
See what's become of your favorite dream
When it's coming all apart at the seams
And the wheelers, the dealers, they're so slick
Forty years later, they're still trying to get rich
The cop on the corner, little girl on the beat
They're all trying to get to Easy Street
Easy Street, oh yes
Up on Easy Street
Don't worry about it, people, she always lands right on her feet
I've heard she's living up on Easy Street
