VERSE 1:
well, i’m running down the road
tryin’ to loosen my load
i’ve got seven women on my mind
four that wanna own me
two that wanna stone me
one says she’s a friend of mine
CHORUS 1:
take it easy, take it easy
don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
lighten up while you still can
don’t even try to understand
just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
VERSE 2:
Well, I’m a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
slowin’ down to take a look at me
CHORUS 2:
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I’m climbin’ in,
so take it easy
VERSE 3:
Well I’m running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my
cover, she’s so hard to find
CHORUS 3:
take it easy, take it easy
don’t let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
OUTRO:
oh oh oh…
oh we got it easy…
we oughta take it easy…
