Bruce Hornsby - Stranded On Easy Street Lyrics
B. r. hornsby/john hornsbyWell she was so fineOn the first impressionI was taken, taken in by the viewWith eyes so softAnd a face so smoothI found her selling in a fashion boothAll that I said was do you sell suits?She said youre a scream and your accents so cuteHer mother had to meet me, it all sounded funnyBut then my friends told me well the girls got moneyIts alright, its okayHey dont you worry about a thingYoure the king today but theres a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy streetWell she said she wasA good time girlLaughing laughing a bit too loudSuch a faceThe specialist createsShe gets the benefit of the doubtI know that she wanted more than I could giveBut I just had to see how the other half livedShe showed me her friends, she showed me her throneI didnt sell my soul I just took out a loanIts alright, its okayHey dont you worry about a thingYoure the king today but theres a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy streetShe runs to her mother the social x-ray starShe put me at the wheel of her fathers new carShe loved how her touch made me want to drive fartherShe loved how her money meant shed tell me how farIts alright, its okayHey dont you worry about a thingYoure the king today but theres a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy street
