Takin’ It Easy

[Verse 1: Paul Overstreet]
If you're ever down in San Jose
Stop in ole' Pedro's place
And I'll be sitting there, sipping tequila
With four or five more old, bearded men
Telling lies 'bout where we've been
And making eyes at senoritas

[Hook: Paul Overstreet]
Just takin' it easy
Takin' it easy
Walkin' the beaches
Watching the girls go by

[Verse 2: Paul Overstreet]
There was a girl I cared about
We couldn't work things out
But she took off for greener pastures
I wound up way down here
I thought a change of atmospherе
Might help me get ovеr faster

[Hook: Paul Overstreet]
So, I'm just takin' it easy
Takin' it easy
Walkin' the beaches
Watching the girls go by

[Verse 3: Paul Overstreet]
Some old buddies of mine
They tracked me down and called me up
They said son, now when are you coming home
I said, there ain't nobody back there missin' me that much
My heart needs time for moving on

[Verse 4: Paul Overstreet]
There's a dark eyed girl, with skin so brown
Now and then she comes around
Seems to understand my sorrow
When she smiles and holds my hand
It makes me feel wanted again
Precious moments that we borrow

[Hook: Paul Overstreet]
But I'm just, takin' it easy
Takin' it easy
Walkin' the beaches
Watching the girls go by

[Outro: Paul Overstreet]
Just walkin' the beaches
Watching the girls go by
