[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a Grunnin' down the road try'n' to loosen my load
I got seven women Don my Cmind;
Four Gthat wanna own me,  Dtwo that wanna stone me,
OnCe says she's a friend of Gmine.
Take it eEmasy, take it  CeasGy,
Don't let the Amsound of your own Cwheels drive you Emcrazy.
Lighten Cup while you still cGan,  don't eveCn try to underGstand.
Just find a Amplace to make your Cstand  and take it Geasy.
[Verse 2]
Now, I'm a Gstandin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
With such a fine Dsight to Csee;
It's a Ggirl my Lord, in a Dflat-bed Ford
Slowin' Cdown to have a look at Gme.
Come on, Embaby,  don't say CmaybGe.
I gotta Amknow if your sweet Clove is gonna saEmve me.
We may Close and we may Gwin,  but we will Cnever be here aGgain.
Oh, open Amup, I'm climbin' Cin to take it eaGsy.
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm Grunnin' down the road try'n' to loosen my load,
Got a world of trouble Don my Cmind.
I'm lookiGn' for a lover who wDon't blow my cover;
She's juCst a little hard to finGd.
Take it eEmasy, take it  CeasGy,
Don't let the Amsound of your own Cwheels drive you Emcrazy.
Come on CbabGy, don't say CmaybGe.
I gotta Amknow if your sweet Clove is gonna savGe me.
