The Eagles - Take It Easy

Na als begeleidings band van Linda Ronstadt te hebben gefungeerd, sloegen de leden van de band hun vleugels uit en The Eagles en daarmee de echte pure country rock was geboren. De song Take It Easy van het 1e Album Eagles is daar een uitstekend voorbeeld van.

Songtext.

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 take your stand and take it easy

Well, I’m a standing on a corner
in Winslow Arizona
It’s 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…”Alright”

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,
ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh,ooh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy, yeah
