Easy Street - Soul Asylum

Did you hear the one about the friend of a friend

Who tried to end it all?

At the last moment he picked up the phone

And gave you a call

You thought about letting it ring

But you answered after all

You answered after all

You answered after all

And there you were put on the spot

At the end of the other line

For all the questions that you never thought

You’d ever have to answer to

Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to

Go and turn on you?

It leaves you in the dark

Feeling for a switch to turn it on again

You turn it on again

You turn it on again

There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough

There’s no shortcuts to Easy Street, no corners you can cut

Can you cut this, can you cut this diamond in the rough?

And it’s good to see you alive

Sign your will to survive

Look into your heart before it sees its final hour

Live each day like there is no tomorrow

Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find

Though I have thought to lay my head down at this dead end so many times

And if we ever get to Easy Street, you can say with a smile:

I came just for the ride

Easy Street, down Easy Street, down Easy Street, down Easy Street
