Take it easy
In your mind
Take it easy
In your mind
Well, you wake up in the morning
And your hands are shaking
And your nerves are all uptight
Your back is sore
And your head's a splitting
Cause you ain't slept all night
You stumble to the kitchen
You light that cigarette
Sit around and hack and cough
Finish your coffee
Kiss your pretty little wife
And you're off
Honey, you gotta rush off down to the office
After all you're a big old wheel
And all that wheeling
And all that dealing
Is the biggest reason why you're ill
Cause the boss gets mad
When business is bad
And the pressure never seems to stop
If you ain't careful
You're gonna blow your top
So take it easy
In your mind
Just take it easy
And you will find
That you'll live longer, brother
You'll get further down the line
If you'll just take it easy
In your mind
Take it easy
And take it slow
Enjoy the good life
It's yours, you know
Well, every cloud is silver-lined
And you can make your own sunshine
If you'll just take it easy
In your mind
Take it easy
In your mind
Take it easy
In your mind
Well, your next door neighbors
Went and bought a new car
One of them great big shiny ones
So you run downtown
Get one that's bigger
Cause you ain't about to be out-done
It's called "Keeping up with the Jones's"
That's the little game you play
Well, there's another bill, son
You don't know how you're gonna pay
You can't explain them headaches
And big old bags underneath your eyes
So you pay thirty-five dollars an hour
To get yourself psychoanalyzed
You lay there and tell that doctor
How your head's all in a mess
And what he tells you
Will sound something like this
Just take it easy
In your mind
Just take it easy
And you will find
That you'll live longer, brother
And you'll get further down the line
If you'll just take it easy
In your mind
Take it easy
And take it slow
Enjoy the good life
It's yours, you know
Well, every cloud is silver-lined
And you can make your own sunshine
If you'll just take it easy
In your mind
Come on, come on
Take it easy
In your mind
You better
Take it easy
In your mind
Just take it easy
In your mind
Just take it easy
And you'll find
