EASY MONEY - V1a		uncirculating
EASY MONEY - V1b	3:36	WRECKING

Note: Driving home some time in February 2011, Bruce had the idea for "Easy Money"; he quickly completed the song and, on February 14, brought it to Stone Hill Studio, Colts Neck, NJ, where he had been working with Ron Aniello on unrelated material. They cut a base track that day; the song kicked off a spur of new writing and quickly initiated what became the Wrecking Ball sessions. Overdubs were completed there over the following several months.

^{Studio Sessions: Wrecking Ball}

You put on your coat, I'll put on my hat
You put out the dog, I'll put out the cat
You put on your red dress for me tonight, honey
We're going on the town now looking for easy money

There's nothing to it mister, you won't hear a sound
When your whole world comes tumbling down
And all them fat cats they just think it's funny
I'm going on the town now looking for easy money
Whoa!

I got a Smith & Wesson .38
I got a hellfire burning and I got me a taste
Got me a date on the far shore where it's bright and sunny
I'm going on the town tonight looking for easy money
Whoa!

(Na-na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa! (Na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa!
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa! (Na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa!
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa! (Na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa!
(Na-na-na-na-na)
Whoa! Whoa! (Na-na-na-na)

You put on your coat, I'll put on my hat
You put out the dog, I'll put out the cat
You put on your red dress, you're looking real good, honey
We're going on the town now looking for easy money
We're going on the town now looking for easy money
