about

Written the summer of 2000 in Arnold, Maryland...recorded at 218 Whitehead Street in Key West, Florida with violinist Bob White in December 2001... I had a Rode NT1 mic, we put that up in the middle of the room and just played live with the one mic

lyrics

Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind

I know you've been stressed out, work your hard hands to the bone
and I know you felt left out, by a life that leaves you alone
At times there seems no end, we sleep and we work again
but we cant enjoy the climb if we're too busy lookin'
at the top of the mountain

Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind

In life we look to a place, try 'n try to get ahead
all the while time we can't trace, responsibility is like lead
And I seen many people laughing, then again I seen many unhappy
If you don't like the way you're livin', make a change
and make it right now

Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind

I've been down in the mire tied up tight in telephone wire
I've been uninspired, full on fire with no desire
All of us are one in the same, we only have ourselves to blame
For the time we spend in chains, for the time we break free again

The stress of life is worse than a bullet, it'll kill ya nice and slow
the more I see the more I know, there's so many things we
oughta' just let go
There's so much that I've forgotten, runnin' round like the devil's toy
and there's so much I want to remember
summertime laughter and childhood joy

Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind

I've seen grown men fighting like children
their egos precious and easily pushed
I seen grown men in silly competitions
their life revolves around being first
But I don't care for competition
I don't care to be number one
Number one is just a number
I just want peace when the day is done....

Take it easy baby, take the time to relax
Take it easy baby, take the time to relax your mind...
