Lawyers, Guns and Money is a song by
Warren Zevon, the closing track on his 1978 album
Excitable Boy.
The rock song, featuring Zevon on piano in a four-piece band, discusses a date with a waitress who turns out to be associated with the Russians, a risky gamble in Havana that his father has to bail him out of, and his subsequent exile in Honduras.
The song has been featured in the films Grand Canyon and more recently in the end credits of the Hunter S. Thompson documentary Gonzo The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
It was covered by Meat Loaf for VH1 Storytellers and by Hank Williams Jr. on his album Five-O.
