Easy Money Letra

Who danced in Silver City late at night

She danced in Silver City way back when
Taking easy money off the good-time men
The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes
As she danced in Silver City late at night

Joshua, my brother, said he'd help me out
When I took up his offer, I had my doubts
Everybody went to prison who didn't die to pay their debt
I woke up in New York City soaking wet

I woke up in New York City without a name
Wasn't long before I learned the hustler's game
Just a cold boy from South Texas, you can bet
I woke up in New York City soaking wet

Then I met a sparkling woman whose first name was Nell
She said, "Boy, you're a star and I can tell"
But the young are often desperate and hardly take their rest
I fell apart the way you might have guessed

She danced in Silver City way back when
Taking easy money off the good-time men
The skyline shined like emeralds in her eyes
As she danced in Silver City late at night
