Text: Don Williams. Take it easy on Yourself.

There's two hundred people pushin' up daisies
In the graveyard out back of the old Baptist church
There were some schemers. some sinners and dreamers
and not one died wishin' they spent more time at work

Chorus:
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turnin'
with out any help
I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself

Leave all the old tears, the good times and lost years
The guilt and the heartache right where they are
I got no hard lesson just love without question

So right now just lay down in these open arms


Bridge:
Unhook your burden let it all fall free
Sometimes Life's harder then it ought to be

I got no hard lesson just love without question
So right now just lay down in these open arms
