Zevon described the birth of the song as coming from "a long day of improbable and grotesque mischief" while on vacation on the island of Kauai. The song details the escapades of a narrator who gets embroiled in a cold war era conflict after sleeping with a communist waitress and taking some big risks while gambling in Havana. This leads our protagonist to hide out in Honduras, all the while begging for "Lawyers, Guns and Money."
The song exemplifies Zevon's humor incredibly well, with some amazing lines that I find myself laughing out loud at every time I hear them, including my favorite verse in the song.
Zevon was an incredibly unique songwriter who has never really received the level of recognition he deserves. The images and stories conveyed in his compositions are truly one-of-a-kind, with a satirical sharpness that was able to capture the minds of anyone who listened to his music. "Lawyers, Guns and Money" is a wonderful example of the wit that defined one of music's greatest unsung heroes.
