Well, I'm a-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

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

Such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord

In a flat-bed 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

Oh we got it easy

We oughta take it easy
