Charley Crockett Easy Money

Mama's air-conditioning went out in july
She bought me this guitar, never said why
I hastily moved in with a friend of a friend
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.
