Taking It Easy Here

Now some folks think I'm lazy some say he's just tired
Some say I'm waitin' on a Gravy Train for some rich fellow's yard
But they don't know what it's all about no matter how it may appear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend taking it easy here
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here

Now some folks like the Northern steaks some folks like the South
Some run around like the Gypsys do just livin' from hand to mouth
But I don't want a lotta dough just enough to feel secure
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend...

Now some folks like the Eastern steaks some folks like the West
But to me it's all the same just so I get my rest
My life's gettin' shorter every day but the future holds no fear
I don't pass through this world but once so I'm taking it easy here
Taking it easy here my friend...
