lighten up while you still can

Well I'm a-runnin' 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.




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-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


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




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


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, ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh


Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
