Letra de
Take It Easy

A canção Take It Easy foi escrita por Jackson Browne e Glenn Frey e é notavelmente conhecida como a faixa de abertura do álbum autointitulado de estreia dos Eagles em 1972. A colaboração entre Browne e Frey começou quando ambos moravam no mesmo prédio e Frey ouviu Browne trabalhando na música, mas tendo dificuldades para finalizar. Frey sugeriu o verso Its a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowing down to take a look at me, que se tornou um pon ... to chave da música. A ideia de Take It Easy era capturar o espírito e as atitudes do country rock do início dos anos 70 e se tornou um dos maiores sucessos dos Eagles, contribuindo grandemente para o sucesso inicial da banda.

Well I'm a runnin' down the road try'n 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 standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
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

Come on, ba-by, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win, though we may never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in, so take it easy


Well, I'm a runnin' down the road tryin' 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 of your sweet love is gonna save me

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh we got it e - e - asy
We oughta take it e - e - asy
