Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that want to stone me
One says she's a friend of mine

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
Take it easy

Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my lord, in a flat bed
Ford
Slowing down to take a look at me
Come on, baby
Don't say maybe
I've got to 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 climbing in

So take it easy
Well I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Looking 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 ought to take it easy
