The Song Lyric theme this week is “traveling”.
Dedicated to Glenn Frey
On our recent Epic Road Trip, this was one of my favorite songs to blast out loud as we barreled down some Google chosen highway!! (Any excuse to post an Eagles or Jackson Browne song…)
This is a great early version of the song “Take it Easy”, with an interesting article about it.

Lyrics
Well, I’m running down the road
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

Nice choice and tribute to Glenn. Take it easy!
thanks and I will. Missing Tom this week also!
I love this song! Great choice for this week. <3
Thanks Helen. I almost chose “On the Road Again” but just not that great a Willie Nelson fan.
I’m with you on that one… I’m not a huge Willie Nelson fan either. 🙂
The Eagles are pretty much my favorite band, and I listen to their songs all the time. Wonderful choice for the challenge! 🙂
great song- takes me back 🙂 and LOVE your photo!
I know that song! I didn’t even need to check out the clip. 😀and yes, very excited! Cheers,H
