I've been takin' it easy too long Sticking around this lonesome town Like a bird that just won't fly Oh why can't I just get over you? What'll I do? I've been takin' it easy too long Hanging around in a reckless way Drinkin' whiskey on the tracks All of the plans I've made just pass away Never again Cos there's wasted hours and there's wasted days I'm gonna waste a few more if I get my way Cos takin' it easy ain't the easy way after a while I've been takin' it easy too long Waitin' for a woman when I should've been gone Like a song that ain't been sung That's what my life's become Sittin' in my car Look at the stars Cos there's a million stars in the sky at night You get lost if you don't shine too bright And I've been takin' it easy most every night For far too long I've been takin' it easy too long
