Take It Easy

A breezy track from *Eagles*, 1972, perfect for relaxed group sing-alongs.

Well, I’m a-runnin’ down the road, tryin’ to loosen my load
I 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

Well, I’m a-standin’ on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see

It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me

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

Chorus

Well, I’m a-runnin’ down the road, tryin’ 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

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

Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
