Easy Money Down in Texas - Ray Wylie Hubbard

It’s easy money down in Texas

Get a guitar and start a band

Play the open mic at the Cheatham Street Warehouse

For the college kids and 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

It’s easy money down in Texas

Easy money

Easy money down in Texas

Easy money

It’s easy money down in Texas

Wear your hair like Robert Plant

Buy a faded Levi jacket

Say you’s influenced by Townes Van Zandt

Get your tattoos from Bart Willis

Don’t ever disrespect George Strait

Have Jeb Hurt do your booking

You’ll never have to play in any other state

It’s easy money down in Texas

Easy money

Easy money down in Texas

Easy money

It’s easy money down in Texas

Now you got a van, a trailer, and some trucker speed

Driving all night after a gig in Lubbock

The drummer’s riding shotgun, playing Assassin’s Creed

Roll into Austin about sun-up

Two Torchy’s tacos and a Shiner six-pack

Won’t be long 'til you’re on a tour bus

Leaving Billy Bob’s and counting greenbacks

Easy money down in Texas

Easy money

Easy money down in Texas

Easy money

It’s easy money down in Texas

Easy money

Easy money down in Texas

Easy money

Oh, it’s easy money

All you boys from Oklahoma come on down too

It’s easy money
