Pedal Easy - A Song for the Canal

Pedal Easy
by Tom Nemmer (with apologies)

To the tune of "Take it Easy" 

by the Eagles 

Well, I've been cruisin' down the trail

Over rocks and broken shale

I got one tube in my bag

If I get a major puncture

At this upcoming juncture

I'm gonna have to call the SAG

Chorus:

Pedal easy, Pedal easy

Don't let the riders on your left, drive you crazy

You will lose if you go fast

So many sights you will have past

So clip 'em in and just relax

And pedal easy

Well I been pedaling all day

Eatin' dust and dirty clay

I've got a cool shower on my mind

It's the hottest that I've felt

I think I'm gonna melt

A puddle's all they're gonna find

Chorus:

Pedal easy, Pedal easy

Don't let the tandems on your left, drive you crazy

You will lose if you go fast

So many sights you will have past

So clip 'em in and just relax

And pedal easy

Well I've been riding down the trail, 

got no news and no mail, 

I've got Albany in my sight

Headed in to Scotia,

I kinda' got a notion,

I'm really gonna sleep tonight

Chorus:

Pedal easy, Pedal easy

Though recumbents on your left, drive you crazy

You will lose if you go fast

So many sights you will have past

So clip 'em in and just relax

And pedal easy
