Lyrics

I'm Taking it Easy copyright 2003, Winfield Orr

VERSE
I don't worry about much these days, and I don't have a lot to do
Just sweep the sand off the porch, light the tiki torch,
And make sure I don't run out of brew
I walk down to the dock, and wait for my dinner
That's coming in right off of the boat
I head back home where it's cool, slip into the pool
And see if I still know how to float

CHORUS
I'm taking it easy, under the palm trees, barefoot in the sand
I'm taking it easy, sitting at the beach bar, long neck in my hand
Watching the tide roll in, feel like a kid again,
Ever since I gave up the city, I'm taking it easy

VERSE
I tried to fit in with the city, working in a high rise every day
But the traffic drove me crazy, the air was always hazy,
So I had to get away
Now me and my rod and reel spend some good time together,
Just hoping and wishing
And back in the city, there's a sign on my door that says: gone fishin'

CHORUS
I'm taking it easy, dancing in the moonlight to a steel drum band
I'm taking it easy, sitting at the beach bar, pina colada in my hand
Watching the tide roll out, that's what it's all about
Ever since I gave up the city, I'm taking it easy

BRIDGE
I traded in my wingtips for flip flops
I use my laptop for a door stop
My old friends as me what I'm doing these days,
And I'm happy to say,

REPEAT FIRST AND SECOND CHORUS
