Take it easy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I'm a runnin' down the road try'n' to loosen my load
I 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.
Now, I'm a standin' on a corner in Winston, Arizona
With such a fine sight to see;
It's a girl my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to have 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, but we will never be here again.
Oh, open up, I'm climbin' in to take it easy.
Well, I'm runnin' down the road try'n' 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.
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.
