Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well I'ma runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load

I got seven women on my mind

Four that want to hold me, two that wanna stone me

One said she's a friend of mine

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Now I'ma standin' on the corner in Winslow, Arizona

With such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford

Slowin' down to have a look at me

[Verse 4]

Come on, baby, don't say maybe

I've gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win

But we will never be here again

Open up, I'm climbin' in to take it easy

[Verse 5]

Well I'ma runnin' down the road tryin' to loosen my load

Got a world of trouble on my mind

I'm lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover

She's just a little hard to find

[Verse 6]

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Come on, baby, don't say maybe

I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
