Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road try'n to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to 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 Southern California
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
Well, 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
So open up, I'm climbin' in to take it easy

Well, I'm a-runnin' down a road tryin' to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Been 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 them old wheels drive you crazy
Well, come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Well, you know we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Ooh, now, baby, take it easy, yeah
