Take It Easy On Yourself by Don Williams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's two hundred people pushing up daisies
In the graveyard out back of the old Baptist church
There were some schemers, some sinners and dreamers
Not one died wishing they spent more time at work

[Chorus]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turning without any help
And I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself

[Verse 2]
Leave all the old tears, the good times and lost years
The guilt and the heartache right where they are
I got no hard lessons just love without question
So right now just lay down in these open arms

[Chorus]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turning without any help
And I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself
[Bridge]
Unhook your burden let it all free
Sometimes life's harder than it ought to be

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I got no hard lessons just love without question
So right now just lay down in these open arms

[Chorus]
Take it easy on yourself
The world will keep turning without any help
And I love you better than anyone else
Take it easy on yourself
Take it easy on yourself
