Easy Street - Down By Law

I’ve been wandering so long but I never had it made

Everyone in the summer sun, well, I was hiding in the shade

Excuse me ma’am, did you happen to see

The shining place that they promised me?

I’m looking for the place they told me

To escape from where they bought and sold me

I’ve been all around the world

But I’ve never been to easy street

And I’m starting to think that it

Doesn’t exist, just for me

I’m looking for the place they told me

To escape from where they bought and sold me

Feel like a mental patient losing patience

Like a guitar top popping every string

Like a firecracker that goes off in your hand

Like a black rainstorm in June, at your command

I’m looking for the place they told me

And I need you to see it through
