David Lee Roth (born October 10 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana) is an American rock vocalist, songwriter, rock climber, adventurer, actor, author, and former radio personality, perhaps best known for his work with the band Van Halen and his fast-talking, oversized personality. He left Van Halen at the pinnacle of his tenure with them in 1985 (being replaced by Montrose's Sammy Hagar) and formed a solo band. After some time spent performing lounge jazz to small audiences, Roth recruited a wondergroup of Steve Vai (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Greg Bisonette (drums), and released the wildly successful 'Eat 'em and Smile' album in 1986. For a while, Roth's success equaled that of his own band; but while Van Halen became huge with Hagar behind the mic, DLR's star faded over time. After the impressive dream-team line-up of the David Lee Roth band imploded due to ego, guitar prodigy Jason Becker (formerly of Cacophony) was bought into the fold in 1989.

Easy Street Lyrics

David Lee Roth

Saturday night
At the corner cafe
I had me some drinks
And I'm feeling my way
The moon's on the rise
And it looks like
A night for romance
Shuffling down
Pass the local hotel
Doing the rounds
And I'm under a spell
Must be the place
Yes I knew
When she asked me to dance
I'm on easy, easy street
I'm on easy, easy street
Seeing as how
I'm a regular guy
Watching the girls
Of the evening go by
I got me a chance
And I'm making it
Making it last
I'm on easy, easy street
I'm on easy, easy street
So if you're feeling like
You're just some lonely man
When ever you're down
In need of gentle care
There's always easy street
You know you gotta pay
But just remember boy
It's only a one night stand
That's right
I'll probably
Make it anyway
Down that easy street
She got nasty
Say baby
What you doing tonight?
