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 standin' 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 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
