Now some folks think I'm lazy some say he's just tired
Some say I'm waitin' on a Gravy Train for some rich fellow's yard
But they don't know what it's all about no matter how it may appear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
[ steel ]
Now some folks like the Northern steaks some folks like the South
Some run around like the Gypsys do just livin' from hand to mouth
But I don't want a lotta dough just enough to feel secure
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend...
[ guitar ]
Now some folks like the Eastern steaks some folks like the West
But to me it's all the same just so I get my rest
My life's gettin' shorter every day but the future holds no fear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend...
