Jackson BrowneTake It Easy Lyrics:
Well, I'm a-running down the road trying 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 said 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 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
Now come on, baby, don't say maybe
I've got to 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
Well, I'm a-running down the road trying 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've got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me

1 The second verse of "Take It Easy" inspired the city of Winslow, Arizona to
erect a life-size bronze statue and mural commemorating the song. The statue of a
man, stands leaning against a lamp post, with an acoustic guitar between his right
hand and the shoe of his right foot. Above his head, a metal sign, crafted in the
style of U.S. Route shields, says, "Standin' on the corner." The mural on the wall
behind the statue is of a storefront, and includes the reflection of a red Ford
pickup truck driven by a blonde-haired woman. The second floor of the mural
features an eagle perched in one of the windows. The "Take It Easy" statue and
mural is at North Kinsley Avenue and West 2nd Street (eastbound State Route 99) in
downtown Winslow.
