Thoroughly Chilled

With a “no worries” checkup season behind me, and having just returned from five days of wasting away under a palapa hut, I’m feeling kind of chilled today. So here’s my song of the day to the tune of Jackson Browne’s “Take it Easy”…

Well I’m a-running up the road trying to loosen my load
I’ve got seven doctors on my mind
Four that want to bill me, two that tried to kill me
One says he’s a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let prognoses of disease drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy

Well I’m a-waitin’ at the clinic that treats my melanoma
It’s such a fine sight to see
And a nurse, my lord, with a big clipboard
Comin’ down to take a look at me

Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I’ve got to know if your sweet cure is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up I’m signin’ on to take it easy

Well we’re a-running up the road trying to loosen our load
Got a world of trouble on our minds
Lookin’ for a new cure that gives us a future
They’re just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let prognoses of disease drive you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I’ve got to know if your sweet cure is gonna save me

You know we want it easy
We oughta take it easy
