The Zephyr (Take It Slow)

Lyrics

[Chorus] Take it slow, take it easy Take it any way you can Take it all, take it freely Take it like a man Take it down the lonesome highway Down the lonesome railroad track Take it any way you want to But never take it back [Verse 1] Some people have such neat houses All of their flowers in a row No surprises in their closets Nothing the neighbors do not know And that's why God made railroad ties To keep the flowers in their place And that's why God made railroad watches To keep the rats in the racе [Chorus] Oh, take it slow, take it easy Takе it any way you can Take it all, take it freely Take it like a man Take it down the lonesome highway Down the lonesome railroad track Take it any way you want to But never take it back [Verse 2] Some people lead such neat lives No screaming in the hall No prescriptions in their pockets No crutch called alcohol And that's why God made the corporate ladder To make the others feel so small And that's why God made Jacob's ladder So we can all climb the walls [Chorus] Now take it slow, take it easy Take it any way you can Take it all, take it freely Take it like a man Take it down the lonesome highway Down the lonesome railroad track Take it any way you want to But never take it back [Verse 3] Some people pay such neat dues To the devil or their boss At the crossroads, at the station Or at the stations of the cross And that's why God made the Burlington Northern Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe And that's why God made railroad whistles So we can blow it all away [Chorus] Take it slow, take it easy Take it any way you can Take it all, take it freely Take it like a man Take it down the lonesome highway Down the lonesome railroad track Take it any way you want to But never take it back
