I made arrangements To trade a paycheck In some shady parking lot I met the dealer Herbal healer The minute i got off the clock And you called on the ride home You said "watch out for cop cars and drive slow" Dated carpet Old apartment But we made the place our own Birthday string lights They just felt right So we left them on the walls We got high in the kitchen And i watched as you danced 'til the sun slipped in I know easy money is hard to come by I got easy money when you're by my side You drove to LA To watch the band play To watch me wrestle with the truth Bid em farewell Climbed the stairwell And got drunk on my cousin's roof And we stared at the skyline Pretending not to care about the Hollywood sign I know easy money is hard to come by I got easy money when you're by my side Even in darkness When it's the hardest Tell me we'll be alright Cuz i need easy money, easy money tonight Wish i had more to give ya honey I've been California dreaming honey Wish i had more to give ya honey Wish i had more to give you
