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' Without 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.
[Chorus:] Take it easy on yourself The world will keep turnin' Without any help I love you better than anyone else Take it easy on yourself.
Unhook your burden let it all free Sometimes life's harder than it ought to be.
[Instrumental]
I got no hard lesson just love without question So right now just lay down in these open arms.
[Chorus:] Take it easy on yourself The world will keep turnin' Without any help I love you better than anyone else Take it easy on yourself.
