Take It Easy Lyrics
tryin' to loosen my load
I've 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
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take 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 though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
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 your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
HERE'S THE MEANING: The seven women represent the seven days of the week!
Four that wanna own me: Work week Mon-Thur Two that wanna stone me: Fri-Sat One says she's a friend of mine: Sunday
I just asked this question on my Facebook, so you just cheated!
@ticctacctoe I think this is it! And the goal is to find the someone who can mask the routine-ness of life. That's the goal of every American isn't it? Find the perfect partner and feel as though every day something new is happening.

Excellent song. I've been to Winslow, AZ... if you are ever taking I-40 through Arizona, it's a fun little stop.
I once heard a theory about the line: I've got seven women on my mind, Four that wanna own me, Two that wanna stone me, One says she's a friend of mine
The suggestion was that these were the days of the week. Mon-Thur with hard work, Fri and Sat with partying, and Sunday with church.
An interesting thought.
What this means is to not let things get the best of you and to just...well...take it easy! Rockin' song! :)
Take it easy. Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. Awesome!
To me it's all about living in the present moment and not getting jacked up over the small stuff.
Could've saved myself 3 years of therapy if I had actually listened to the lyrics of this song growing up! lol
yes like many people have said its just a simple fun song and it means to me have a good time in life but dont cause a lot of shit for yourself otherwise you will be screwed and not to worry about things
I live in the country and to get home I take this long highway that one either side of the road is just farmers fields, and maybe one lonley gas station 7 miles before the town. And when it rains the fields are green and the sky is thick, and when its sunny the sun hits your arm and its really comfortable. But, when I drive home this is the perfect song, no matter what the weather, it just feels like after a hard day, it preserves your humanity, and gives you a sense of self. I love, its the PERFECT road trip song! Anyways, I think the song is just basically not getting to serious, and staying grounded. Being humble, not starting conflict, and embrassing what you have, even if its not enough. It's hard to find songs like this.
Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey co-wrote this. Jackson Browne began to write it and didn't like it. Glenn asked him if he could finish it and perform it. It worked out for the both of them. I like Browne's version the best actually EVEN THOUGH I LOVE the Eagles and they are my favorite band :)
"come on baby, don't say maybe. i gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me" ...so simple yet pretty much the story of my life.
Hey, I've actually been standing on the corner in Winzlow, Arizona!
This is one of my favorite all-time songs ever!
this is THE SONG of my life. my favorite song of all time is 'sweet child o' mine' but this is my favorite song when it comes to meaning, because i don't know. just LISTEN TO THE SONG! it makes you wanna punch everybody who's freaking out, and just say "CHILL OUT!" i was just recently in a car wreck and i've been listening to this song... there's so much good in life that it's not worth getting down on it! :) i mean, YOU'RE ALIVE, I'M ALIVE, WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK FOR? you know what i mean!? just 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 eeeeeeeeassyyyyyy. :) :) :) :) this is the number one feel good song of all time!
