There's two hundred people pushin' up daisies

In the graveyard out back of the old Baptist church

There were some schemers. some sinners and dreamers

and not one died wishin' they spent more time at work



Chorus:

Take it easy on yourself

The world will keep turnin'

with out any help

I love you better than anyone else

Take it easy on yourself



Leave all the old tears, the good times and lost years

The guilt and the heartache right where they are

I got no hard lesson just love without question

So right now just lay down in these open arms

<repeat chorus>



Bridge:

Unhook your burden let it all fall free

Sometimes Life's harder then it ought to be



I got no hard lesson just love without question

So right now just lay down in these open arms
