          G
Well, I'm running down the road 
 
tryin' to loosen my load
                     D     C
I've got seven women on my mind, 
G
Four that wanna own me, 
D
Two that wanna stone me, 
C                          G
One says she's a friend of mine,

Take it easy, take it easy 
              Am                C
Don't let the sound of your own wheels 
          Em
Drive you crazy 
        C                  G
Lighten up while you still can 
           C           G
Don't even try to understand 
            Am                 C
Just find a place to make your stand 
            G

Such a fine sight to see 
       G                   D
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
             C                      G
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me 
 
         Em D            C  G
Come on, baby, don't say maybe 
        Am                 C
I gotta know if your sweet love is 
      Em

       C               G
We may lose and we may win though 
        C              G
we will never be here again 
        Am               C
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
