Lyrics

Take It Easy

[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]

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]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[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]

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-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Oh, we got it easy

We oughta take it easy
