Co-written with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Jackson at one point lived in a small duplex underneath Glenn and his then-roomate, J.D. Souther. Glenn heard him composing Take It Easy on the piano as he laid in bed upstairs. Browne was frustrated with the song and was going to give up on it, but Glenn thought it deserved another chance. He filled in Browne's lyrical gap with the line "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me" and recorded it with the Eagles - and the rest is history.
