(Lawton/Box)
Ain't it strange that when you're lonely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground

When you're down and no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
But your friends they don't desert you
When you make it you're a star

(But I'm gonna stay)
Free and Easy
'Cos I know just what I am
Gonna be Free and Easy

I've been through all the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
But when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim

(But I'm gonna be)
Free and Easy
Gonna stay just what I am
Gonna be Free and Easy
