Verse 1

Morning pours through the kitchen screen

Coffee warms the worn blue jeans

You smile and say, “The road can wait”

So I leave my boots beside the gate

Pre-Chorus

We’ve got a little time to spare

A porch swing and a southern breeze in the air

Chorus

Take it easy, honey, stay awhile

Let the whole wide world slow down and smile

With your hand in mine and the window open wide

There’s a quiet kind of joy on this country side

Take it easy, honey, nothing we can’t do

I’ve got a peaceful day waiting here with you

Verse 2

The old screen door keeps a steady beat
