Ernest Tubb - Taking It Easy Here lyrics

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

[ steel ]

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...

[ guitar ]

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...
