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
