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.

City girls just seem to find out early
how to open doors with just a smile.
A rich old man, she won't have to worry,
she'll dress up all in lace, and go in style.
Late at night a big old house gets lonely,
I guess every form of refuge has its price.
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
given to a man with hands as cold as ice.
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
to comfort an old friend, he's feeling down.
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving,
she is headed for the cheatin' side of town.

CHORUS: You can't hide your lyin' eyes
and your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realize
there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal.
She drives on through the night anticipating,
'Cause it makes her feel the way she used to feel.
She rushes to his arms, they fall together,
she whispers that it's only for a while.
She swears that soon she'll be coming back for ever,
she pulls away and leaves him with a smile.

CHORUS

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
and stares out at the stars up in the sky,
another night, it's gonna be a long one,
she draws the shade and hangs her head to cry.
She wonders how it ever got this crazy,
she thinks about a boy she knew in school.
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool.
My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things,
you set it up so well, so carefully.
Ain't it funny how your life didn't change things,
you're still the same old girl you used to be.

CHORUS

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.
Funny, you can't hide your lyin' eyes.

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf.
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself.

'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right.
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right.

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song.
Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone.

Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong.
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone.

Yes, I'm already gone,
Already gone all right
Already gone
Already gone...

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now,
Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you got your reasons,
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy, she'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones you can't get.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger,
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home,
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows,
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you,
Let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you,
Before it's too late.

One of these nights
one of these crazy old nights
we're gonna find out, pretty mama,
what turns on your lights.
The full moon is calling' the fever is high,
and the wicked wind whispers and moans.
You got your demons, you got desires.
well, I got a few of my own.

Oo, someone to be kind to in between the dark and the light.
Oo, coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights.

One of these dreams, one of these lost and lonely dreams,
now we're gonna find one, girl, one that really screams.
I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white.
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both,
and I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight.

Oo, loneliness will bind you in between the wrong and the right.
Oo, coming right behind you, swear Ilm gonna find you one of these nights.

One of these nights, in between the dark and the light,
coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you,
get you, baby, one of these nights,
one of these nights, one of these nights.
I can feel you, I can feel you one of these nights.
Coming right behind you, swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights.
It gets so dark, so dark and cold and lonely one of these nights,
one of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights.
One of these nights, swear I'm gonna find you, coming right behind you,
one of these nights, one of these nights.

It's another tequila sunrise,
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky,
Said goodbye.

He was just a hired hand,
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try,
The days go by.

Every night when the sun goes down,
Just another lonely boy in town,
And she's out runnin' 'round.

She wasn't just another woman,
And I couldn't keep from comin' on,
It's been so long.

Oh, and it's a hollow feelin',
When it comes down to dealin' friends,
It never ends.

Take another shot of courage,
Wonder why the right words never come,
You just get numb.

It's another tequila sunrise,
This old world still looks the same,
Another frame.

All alone at the end of the evening
and the bright lights have faded to blue,
I was thinking about a woman who might have loved me,
and I never knew.
You know. I've always been a dreamer,
spent my life runnin' 'round,
and it's so hard to change,
can't seem to settle down,
but the dreams I've seen lately
keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same.

So put me on a highway and show me a sign,
and take it,to the limit one more time.
You can spend all your time making money,
you can spend all your love making time.

If it all fell to pieces tomorrow, would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom,
nobody seems to care,
and you can't find the door,
can't find it anywhere.
When there's nothing to believe in,
still you're coming back, you're running back, you're coming back for more.

So put me on a highway
and show me a sign,
and take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time.
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time..
Take it to the limit, take it to the limit, take it to the limit one more time..

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.

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams,
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
And comin' apart at the seams.
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
Look at the way that we live.
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give.
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love

I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream,
It was a quiet night and I would be all right
If I could go on sleeping.

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today.
You see it your way and I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away.
You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough.
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ every night and day
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ oo-oo-oo oo-oh
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)
O-O-O-Oh sweet darlin’ you got it
You get the best of my love (The best of my love)...
