Stranded On Easy Street Lyrics

    B. r. hornsby/john hornsby

    Well she was so fine
    On the first impression
    I was taken, taken in by the view
    With eyes so soft
    And a face so smooth
    I found her selling in a fashion booth
    All that i said was "do you sell suits?"
    She said you're a scream and your accent's so cute
    Her mother had to meet me, it all sounded funny
    But then my friends told me well the girls got money

    It's alright, it's okay
    Hey don't you worry about a thing
    You're the king today but there's a price you may pay
    If you take your seat in the royal suite
    You might get stranded on easy street

    Well she said she was
    A good time girl
    Laughing laughing a bit too loud
    Such a face
    The specialist creates
    She gets the benefit of the doubt
    I know that she wanted more than i could give
    But i just had to see how the other half lived
    She showed me her friends, she showed me her throne
    I didn't sell my soul i just took out a loan

    It's alright, it's okay
    Hey don't you worry about a thing
    You're the king today but there's a price you may pay
    If you take your seat in the royal suite
    You might get stranded on easy street

    She runs to her mother the social x-ray star
    She put me at the wheel of her father's new car
    She loved how her touch made me want to drive farther
    She loved how her money meant she'd tell me how far

    It's alright, it's okay
    Hey don't you worry about a thing
    You're the king today but there's a price you may pay
    If you take your seat in the royal suite
    You might get stranded on easy street
