Well, I'm a runnin' 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 standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And 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, 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 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 drive you crazy.
Come on, baby, don't say maybe.
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
Oh, we got it easy,
We oughta take it easy.

Raven hair and ruby lips,
Sparks fly from her finger tips.
Echoed voices in the night,
She's a restless spirit on an endless flight.

Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.
Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

She held me spellbound in the night,
Dancing shadows and firelight.
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon.

Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.
Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

I know you want to love her but let me tell you, brother,
She's been sleepin' in the devil's bed.
There's some rumors goin' round, someone's underground,
She can rock you in the night until your skin turns red.

Woo-hoo, witchy woman, see how high she flies.
Woo-hoo, witchy woman, she got the moon in her eyes.

You scare me a bit but that's all right.
You know when I want you, most every night.
And I've been meanin' to tell you, baby, that it makes no sense.
Still I'm finally convinced, yeah yeah.

I believe we could chug all night,
I believe we could hug all night.
The band is loose and the groove is right.
You're so much woman, believe we could chug all night.

On the day that I die, well, I just might scream.
If I'm alive in the mornin' I'll be alive in a dream.
You better listen to me, baby, 'cause you know that I'm hung on you.
Till I'm blind and black and blue no one else will do.

I do believe we could chug all night,
I do believe we could hug all night.
The band is loose and the groove is right.
You're so much woman, believe we could chug all night.

No woman ever do what you do high on a pleasure wheel,
No devil ever cast a voodoo so long and dark and real.

We're gonna do a little chuggin',
We're gonna do a little huggin'.
The band is loose and the groove is right.
I'm wired for sound, are you wired for light?
And you're so much woman, I believe we could chug all night.

Most of us are sad,
No one lets it show.
I've been shadows of myself,
How was I to know?

Tell me, scarlet sun,
What will time allow?
We have brought our children here,
Who will save them now?

Weeping woman, try to smile
Like the coming dawn.
Most of us are sad, it's true,
Still we must go on.

Love was here today,
Oh, the sun was bright.
I will sing you far away,
Love is here tonight.

Most of us are sad,
No one lets it show.
I've been shadows of myself,
How was I to know?

I'm hangin' on to my peace of mind, I just don't know.
I'm hangin' on to those good times, baby, just want to let them roll.
I'm gonna make it to the light and joy, I'll tell you why:
I got a woman who can take me there, the apple of my eye.

Oo-o-o-oh, I just don't know, no no no no,
No-o-o-oh, I love her so.

Don't let me see that mornin' paper 'cause I don't need those dues.
It's just the same old murder movie but they call it the news.
I tell you what would be some story and what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody that just happened to me.

Oo-o-o-oh, I just don't know, no no no no,
No-o-o-oh, I'll never let her go.

And every time I hear somebody sneakin' up behind,
Whoa, I turn around but I still hear that sound
And just when I'm abouut to lose my mind

Here comes my baby singin' like a nightingale,
Comin' my way down along that devastation trail.
We'll tell the Lord above she's got a brand of love
That cannot fail.

I'm hangin' on to my peace of mind and that's no lie.
I'm hangin' on to my special friend, the apple of my eye,
The apple of my eye, my inspiration too.
She's got a lead on my heart and my soul and she knows just what to do.

O-o-o oo-o-o-oh, I just don't know, no no no no,
No-o-o-oh, I get so low and my mind's about to go
But wait a minute

Here comes my baby singin' like a nightingale,
Comin' my way down along that devastation trail.
We'll let the fires burn and let the floods return,
We will prevail
Hangin' on to my peace of mind,
I just don't know.

I lost ten points just for bein’
In the right place at exactly the wrong time.
I looked right at the facts there
But I may as well have been completely blind.
So if you see me walkin' all alone
Don't look back, I'm just on my way back home.
There's a train leaves here this mornin',
I don't know what I might be on.

She signed me to a contract,
Baby said it would all be so lifelong.
I looked around then for a reason
When there wasn't something more to blame it on.
But if time makes a difference while we're gone
Tell me now and I won't be hangin' on.
There's a train leaves here this mornin',
I don't know what I might be on.

Thirteen-twenty North Columbus
Was the address that I wrote down on my sleeve.
I don't know just what she wanted,
Might have been that it was gettin' time to leave.
And I watched as the smoker passed it on
And I laughed when the joker said, lead on.
'Cause there's a train leaves here this mornin',
I don't know what I might be on.
There's a train leaves here this mornin',
I don't know what I might be on.

Open up your eyes, take the devil from your mind,
He's been holdin' on to you and you're so hard to find.
The wind outside is cold, restless feelin' in my soul
Temptin' me to get away but there's no place a man can go.

God, will you lead me where I roam,
Help me not to let my feelings show, no no.

You are the one, oh, how could you be so blind?
The devil preys on runaways, he's never far behind.
The many years that I've tried now have been revealed to me,
Closer is the love you'll find waiting so patiently.

God, will you lead me where I roam,
Help me not to let my feelings show, no no.

Take the devil,
Take the devil from your mind.

Early in the mornin' about the break of day
The earlybird is workin' so his life don't fade away.
He'll spend his days denyin' that he's got no time for flyin
In the breeze.
While high up on his own the eagle flies alone,
He is free.

The earlybird is scratchin' though the goin's gettin' tough,
The time is passin' by him and he just can't get enough.
He'll tell you all is goin' well but knows that something's wrong.
The earlybird will wake one day and find his life is gone.

You know I like to lay in bed, sleep out in the sun,
Readin' books or playin' crazy music just for fun.
You know it makes me feel so fine and sets my mind at ease
To know that I don't harm a soul in doin' what I please.

Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away.
Any old day you say, ain't gonna fade away.
(repeat & fade)

I like the way your sparklin' earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a million stars all around.

'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground.

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul.
Ah, but she can't take you anywhere
You don't already know how to go.

And I got a peaceful easy feelin’
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin' on the ground.

I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again.

'Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin',
I'm already standin',
Yes, I'm already standin' on the ground.

I'm just arrivin' in the city and there's music on my mind,
Lookin' for my destination and my home is far behind.
'Cause it's a long road ahead
And you can make it in the end
I'm gonna make it with my friends
And I'm tryin'.

It took me some time to see it, now I'm lookin' through this world,
And it's gonna take some time before I get back, help me, girl.
'Cause you can make it if you try,
You gotta lay it on the line
And everything will be fine
If you try.

Sittin' smokin' just a thinkin' is an easy thing to do.
We gotta keep on tryin' for the feelin' to come through.
And it's a lonely way to live,
You gotta take it, you gotta give.
If you mistake it just try again
And I'm tryin', yeah.

Uh-huh-huh, we got to keep on tryin’
Uh-huh-huh, we got to keep on tryin’
Uh-huh-huh, we got to keep on tryin’
Uh-huh-huh, we got to keep on tryin’
Whoa, I'm tryin' we got to keep on tryin’
Whoa, I'm tryin' we got to keep on tryin’
Whoa we got to keep on tryin’
