Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's easy money down in Texas Get a guitar, start a band Play the open mic at the Cheatham Street Warehouse For the college kids and the red dirt fans Then call up Larry Joe Taylor And say you wanna play his Chili Fest Get drunk with Cody, Wade, and Cody Jack and Cody and all the rest [Chorus] Easy money down in Texas Easy money Easy money down in Texas Easy money [Verse 2] It's easy money down in Texas Wear your hair like Robert Plant Buy a faded Levi jacket And say y'all influenced by Townes Van Zandt Get your tattoos from Bart Willis Don't ever disrespect George Strait Get Red 11 to do your booking You'll never have to play in any other state [Chorus] Easy money down in Texas Easy money Easy money down in Texas Easy money [Verse 3] It's easy money down in Texas You got a van, a trailer, and some trucker speed Driving all night after a gig in Lubbock The drummer's riding shotgun, playing Asleep at the Wheel Roll into Austin about sun-up Two Torchy's tacos and a Shiner six-pack Won't be long 'til you're on your own tour bus Leaving Billy Bob's and counting greenbacks [Chorus] Easy money down in Texas Easy money Easy money down in Texas Easy money Let me tell you, easy money down in Texas Easy money Easy money, boys, down in Texas Easy money [Outro] That's all I got You boys from Oklahoma come on down too It's easy money Get on Ray Benson's television show, too Make some easy money, yeah, in Texas Take it home
