Taking It Easy Here Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

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...
