No More Walks In The Wood lyrics - Eagles

No more walks in the wood

The trees have all been cut down

And where once they stood

Not even a wagon rut

Appears along the path

Low brush is taking over

No more walks in the wood

This is the aftermath

Of afternoons in the clover fields

Where we once made love

Then wandered home together

Where the trees arched above

Where we made our own weather

When branches were the sky

Now they are gone for good

And you, for ill, and I

Am only a passer-by

We and the trees and the way

Back from the fields of play

Lasted as long as we could

No more walks in the wood

How Long lyrics - Eagles

Like a blue bird with his heart removed, lonely as a train

I've run just as far as I can run

If I never see the good old days shinin' in the sun

I'll be doin' fine and then some

How long, how long

Woman will you weep

How long, how long

Rock yourself to sleep

Well I been doin' time in lonesome prison, where the sun don't shine

Just outside, the freedom river runs

Out there in that shiny night, with blood hounds on your mind

Don't you know it's the same sad situation?

How long, how long

Woman will you weep

How long, how long

Rock yourself to sleep

[Joe's instrumental]

Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooooo)

Everyone is out there on the loose

Well I wish I lived in the land of fools, no one knew my name

But what you get is not quite what you choose

Tell me, how long, how long

Woman will you weep

How long, how long

Rock yourself to sleep

How long, how long (long and drawn out)

Muddy River runs so deep

How long, how long (long and drawn out)

Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep,

Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep,

B-B-B Bye bye baby, Rock yourself to sleep

Busy Being Fabulous lyrics - Eagles

I came home to an empty house

And I found your little note

"Don't wait up for me tonight"

And that was all she wrote

Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town

With all of your high-rollin' friends?

What do you do when you come up empty?

Where do you go when the party ends?

And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

I don't know what you were dreaming of

Somehow you forgot about love

And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh

A little time in the country

A day or two to slow down

A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight

Maybe some foolin' around

But you think time is just a magazine

And money's just a thrill

I've waited so long for you to change your way of livin'

Now I realize that you never will

'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

Lookin' for something you'll never find

You'll never know what you left behind

'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh

You tell a joke and everybody's laughin'

That's something you know how to do

You've always been the life of the party

But now my baby, the joke is on you

'Cause you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

Running after something that never comes

What in the world are you runnin' from?

And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy to think about us

To drink the wine from your winner's cup

To notice the children were growin' up

And you were just too busy being fabulous

Too busy, too busy

Too busy

Aw, baby

What Do I Do With My Heart lyrics - Eagles

You don't have to say a word

I can see it in your eyes

I know what you wanna say

It's so hard to say goodbye

I can hold back my tears

And try to be strong

While our love is fallin' apart

I know what I'll say

If you walk away

But what do I do

What do I do with my heart?

I'm not gonna say a word

I know I can't change your mind

You know where you need to go

I know I'll be left behind

I won't hold you back

I won't stand in your way

If you need to make a new start

But I still wanna know

When my arms let you go

What do I do

What do I do with my heart?

Oh, girl, don't you remember?

It was not so long ago

We were makin' plans for two

Just me and you

Now you tell me that you've found somebody

Someone who loves you better

No one could ever love you

The way I do

Tell me you're not leavin' now

Tell me you're not leavin'

Tell me that you're gonna stay

Please say you'll stay with me, baby

Tell me that you love me still

Say you love me still

For this and this alone I pray

Fall down on my knees and pray

I'll do anything

Yes, I would

To save what we have

To keep you by my side

I'll love you 'til death do us part

But what do I do

What do I do

When I'm still missing you?

What do I do

What do I do with my heart?

Guilty Of The Crime lyrics - Eagles

You're the only one who's ever heard my song

I might be lonely now, but I won't be lonely long

Take a look at me, baby

Tell me, what do you see?

Take a look at me, baby

You're lookin' at the brand new me

I'm like a total stranger knockin' at your door

No need to worry 'bout the way I was before

It's a new love story

So read every line

You be the judge and the jury

I'm guilty of the crime

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

Of lovin' you, baby

Guilty of, guilty of the crime

I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you

'Cause there's nothin' more that I would rather do

It's a new love story

Got to read every line

You be the judge and the jury

I'm guilty of the crime

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

Of lovin' you, baby

Guilty of, guilty of the crime

Of lovin' you, baby

Guilty of, guilty of the crime

Yes, I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

Of lovin' you, lovin' you

I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

Yes I'm guilty of, guilty of the crime

I Don't Want To Hear Any More lyrics - Eagles

It's not the first time

That I've had the sense that something's wrong

But I'm old enough to know

That things don't always work out like they should

I know you're tryin' hard

To break it gently to me, now

But there's no easy way

To tell it like it is, so baby...

I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before

I've seen that look before

I know it well; it comes as no surprise

You've been avoiding me

But now you want to talk it over

Before you take my hand

And tell me softly in a whisper

There's no need to explain

I've read the book; I know how this all ends

I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before

I won't ask you to stay

I won't stand in your way

Look me right in the eyes

Let me walk away with my head high

If there's some other guy

I don't need to know why

But I don't want to hear any more

You don't need to tell me it's over

I've been here before

I won't ask you to stay

I won't stand in your way

And I don't want to hear any more

No, no, baby

I don't want to hear any more

Waiting In The Weeds lyrics - Eagles

It's comin' on the end of August

Another summer's promise almost gone

And though I heard some wise man say

That every dog will have his day

He never mentioned that these dog days get so long

I don't know when I realized the dream was over

Well, there was no particular hour, no given day

And, no, it didn't go down in flame

There was no final scene, no frozen frame

I just watched it slowly fade away

And I've been waiting in the weeds

Waiting for my time to come around again and

Hope is floating on the breeze

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

I've been keepin' to myself

Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing

Even though you're with somebody else

He'll never love you like I do

I've been biding time with the crows and sparrows

While peacocks prance and strut upon the stage

If finding love is just a dance

Proximity and chance

You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

And I've been waiting in the weeds

Waiting for the dust to settle down along the

Back roads running through the fields

Lying on the outskirts of this lonesome town

And I imagine sunlight in your hair

You're at the county fair

You're holding hands and laughing

And now the ferris wheel has stopped

You're swinging on the top

Suspended there with him

And he's the darling of the chic

The flavor of the week is melting

Down your pretty summer dress

Baby, what a mess you're making

I've been stumbling through some dark places

Now I'm following the plow

I know I've fallen out of your good graces

It's alright now

And I've been waiting in the weeds

Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the

Wild birds scattering the seeds

Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune

The phases of the moon

The chambers of the heart

The egg and dart

A small gray spider spinning in the dark

In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

And I've been waiting in the weeds

Waiting for my time to come around again and

Hope is floating on the breeze

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and

I've been keeping to myself

Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing

Even though you're with somebody else

He'll never love you like I do

No More Cloudy Days lyrics - Eagles

Sitting by a foggy window

Staring at the pouring rain

Falling down like lonely teardrops

Memories of love in vain

These cloudy days, make you wanna cry

It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don't know why

I can see that you've been hurting, baby I've been lonely too

I've been out here lost and searching, looking for a girl like you

Now I believe the sun is gonna shine

Don't you be afraid to love again, put your hand in mine...

Baby, I would never make you cry

I would never make you blue

I would never let you down

I would never be untrue

I know a place where we can go where true love always stays

There's no more stormy nights, no more cloudy days

I believe in second chances

I believe in angels, too

I believe in new romances

Baby, I believe in you

These cloudy days are coming to an end

And you don't have to be afraid to fall in love again

Baby, I would never make you cry

I would never make you blue

I would never turn away

I would never be untrue

I know a place where we can go where true love always stays

There's no more stormy nights, no more cloudy days

Fast Company lyrics - Eagles

Now, where you going?

Now, what's the rush?

You listen here

No, you just hush

I know what you think

That man don't know anything

But I've been around a while

I know what's happening

Everybody wanna check you out

Everybody wanna be your friend

And all this pressure

Where do I fit in?

They don't know nothin' you don't know

Ain't got nothing you ain't got

But you keep on runnin', you keep on runnin' with the

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Now it's alright

To have some fun

This is your turn

Your life has just begun

You're racin' out the door

Don't have very much to say

Your motor's runnin' hot

You can't wait to get away

Lookin' up the road ahead

You can't see very far

Remember where you come from

Remember who you are

Be careful what you say

Be careful who you trust

This world is beautiful

This world is dangerous

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere...

Talk to me and help me try to remember

How it feels to be so in doubt

Turn to me and help me try to remember

That ragin' fire that the years put out

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Fast company

Fast company

You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

Do Something lyrics - Eagles

I've been walkin' through the fields

And on the streets of town

Trying to make sense of what you left me

Everything that I believed in

Has been turned upside down

And now it seems the whole wide world's gone crazy

But when I feel like giving up

And I'm ready to walk away

In the stillness, I can hear

A voice inside me say

Do something

Do something

It's too late for saving face

Don't just stand there takin' up space

Why don't you do something?

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late

You were always on my side

Love was all we had

Now I sit and watch our love unraveling

I pick up the morning paper

All the news is bad

How did we get on this road we're traveling?

But when I feel like giving up

And there's nowhere left to go

That's the time I dig down deep

The only thing I know

Do something

Do something

Don't leave it up for someone else

Don't feel sorry for yourself

Why don't you do something?

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late

Run away

You can't run away

For your honor

For your pride

You'll sleep better

Knowin' you tried

To do something

Do something

It's too easy not to care

You're not ready for the rockin' chair

Get up and do something

Do something

Don't wait too long

Even if it's wrong

You've got to do something

Do something

It's not over

No, it's never too late

You Are Not Alone lyrics - Eagles

Say goodbye to all your pain and sorrow

Say goodbye to all those lonely nights

Say goodbye to all your blue tomorrows

Now you're standing in the light

I know sometimes you feel so helpless

Sometimes you feel like you can't win

Sometimes you feel so isolated

You'll never have to feel that way again

You are not alone

You're not alone

Never thought I'd find the road to freedom

Never thought I'd see you smile again

Never thought I'd have the chance to tell you

That I will always be your friend

You are not alone

You're not alone

Long Road Out Of Eden lyrics - Eagles

Moon shining down through the palms

Shadows moving on the sand

Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm

Dusty rifle in his trembling hands

Somebody trying just to stay alive

He got promises to keep

Over the ocean in America

Far away and fast asleep

Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky

Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by

Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born

Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn

But it's a long road out of Eden

Music blasting from an SUV

On a bright and sunny day

Rolling down the interstate

In the good old USA

Having lunch at the petroleum club

Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives

He said, "Give me another slice of that barbecued brisket!"

"Give me another piece of that pecan pie!"

Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune

We're riding to Utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon

Captains of the old order clinging to the reins

Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains

But it's a long road out of Eden

Back home I was so certain

The path was very clear

But now I have to wonder what are we doing here?

I'm not counting on tomorrow

And I can't tell wrong from right

But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight

Weaving down the American highway

Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk

Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda

And now we're driving dazed and drunk

Been down the road to Damascus,

The road to Mandalay

Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way

He said, "It's hard to stop this binging, once you get a taste."

"But the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."

Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools

But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools

And it's a long road out of Eden....

Somebody lyrics - Eagles

You feel bad, but not bad enough

You know you had it coming 'cause you played so rough

Back over your shoulder got an icy chill

Man, you thought you'd get away with it

Now you know you never will

Somebody, somebody

You got a feelin' somebody's following you

No one knows 'bout the times you had

You've been so evil; you know, you've been so bad

There's a devil to pay for what you put them through

And you got a feeling somebody's following you

Somebody, somebody

You got a feelin' somebody's following you

Somebody, somebody

You got a feelin' somebody's following you

There's a jack-o-lantern moon in the midnight sky

Somebody gonna live, somebody gonna die

But down in the graveyard on that old tombstone

There's a big black crow and it's callin' you home

Somebody, somebody

You got a feelin' somebody's following you

Somebody, somebody

You got a feelin' somebody's following you

Somebody

You know there's somebody

Frail Grasp On The Big Picture lyrics - Eagles

Well, ain't it a shame

That our short little memory

Never seem to learn

The lessons of history

We keep makin' the same mistakes

Over and over and over and over again

And then we wonder why

We're in the shape we're in

Good ol' boys down at the bar

Peanuts and politics

They think they know it all

They don't know much of nothing

Even if one of them was to read a newspaper

Cover-to-cover

That ain't what's going on

Journalism's dead and gone

Frail grasp on the big picture

Light fading and the fog is getting thicker

It's a frail grasp on the big picture

Dark ages

You my love-drunk friend

All that red wine and candlelight

Soulful conversations

That go on until the dawn

How many times can you tell your story?

How many hangovers can you endure

Just to get some snogging done?

You're living in a hormone dream

You don't have the slightest notion

What long-term love is all about

All your romantic liaisons

Don't deal with eternal questions like:

Who left the cap off the freaking toothpaste?

Whose turn to take the garbage out?

Frail grasp on the big picture

You keep on rubbin' that, you're gonna get a blister

It's a frail grasp on the big picture

I've seen it all before

And we pray to our Lord

Who, we know, is American

He reigns from on high

He speaks to us through middlemen

And he shepherds his flock

We sing out and we praise His name

He supports us in war

He presides over football games

And the right will prevail

All our troubles shall be resolved

We hold faith above all

Unless there's money or sex involved

Frail grasp on the big picture

Nobody's calling them for roughing up the kicker

It's a frail grasp on the big picture

Heaven help us

Frail grasp on the big picture

All waiting for that miracle elixir

Frail grasp on the big picture

I don't wonder anymore

Frail grasp on the big picture

Somebody says, "You brought her here

So go ahead and kiss her."

Frail grasp on the big picture

Frail grasp on the big picture

Light fading and the fog is getting thicker

It's a frail grasp on the big picture

Frail grasp on the big picture

Frail grasp on the big picture

Last Good Time In Town lyrics - Eagles

I like to go out every now and then

I can't wait to do it again

But I haven't had the time

Lately

I like to step out every once in a while

I kind of like to do it in style

I haven't had the time

Lately

Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone

(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)

And I dream I'm on vacation

'Cause I like the way that sounds

It's a perfect occupation

For me

I don't mind being by myself

If there's no one else around

It's the last good time in town

Well, I could stand up straight, get a real job

Stay up late with the same old mob

But it hasn't crossed my mind

Lately

Put on a suit, work downtown

Then come up when the sun goes down

No, I haven't had the time

Lately

Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Closin' the curtains, play jazz on trombone

(Jazz on trombone, jazz on trombone)

And I dream I'm on vacation

No, you won't see me around

It's a perfect situation

For me

I don't mind being by myself

'Cause I know you'll come on down

It's the last good time in town

Lately I've been stayin' at home

(Stayin' at home, stayin' at home)

Workin' the crosswords, turn off the phone

(Turn off the phone, turn off the phone)

And I dream I'm on vacation

'Cause I like the way that sounds

It's a perfect occupation

For me, yes it is

I don't mind being by myself

If you don't see me around

It's the last good time, last good time in town

I Love To Watch A Woman Dance lyrics - Eagles

I love to watch a woman dance

She bows her head and lifts her hands

Her hips begin to circle slowly

Her eyes have closed; her face is holy

She holds the whole world in trance

I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

She likes the slow songs of love lost

They take her a million miles away

'Cause to dream, sometimes, is the only way

To go places you can't get to any other way

Our eyes connect; she takes my hand

I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

I feel my heart beating, and I wonder

Will it ever satisfy my longing?

I'm gonna hold on to you for as long as I can

For who knows, this dance may be our only dance

So we danced together, close and slow

So slow we're almost standing still

Her warm breath against my neck

Slowly breaking down my will

The room spins so I can barely stand

The song ends; then, she lets go of my hand

There's so much I don't understand

But I love to watch a woman dance

Yeah, I love to watch a woman dance

Business As Usual lyrics - Eagles

Look at the weather, look at the news

Look at all the people in denial

We're running time, leaving grace

Still we worship at the marketplace

While common sense is goin' out of style

I thought that I would be above it all by now

In some country garden in the shade

But it's business as usual

Day after day

Business as usual

Just grinding away

You try to be righteous

You try to do good

But business as usual

Turns your heart into wood

Monuments to arrogance reach for the sky

Our better nature's buried in the rubble

We got the prettiest White House that money can buy

Sitting up there in that beltway bubble

The main jefe talks about our freedom

But this is what he really means...

Business as usual

How dirty we play

Business as usual

Don't you get in the way

Yeah, make you feel helpless

Make you feel like a clown

Business as usual

Is breakin' me down

Boy, you can't go surfing in Century City

Yeah, them sharks out there are lurking beneath the curb

Yeah, they rob you blind, chew you up, and it ain't pretty

And it's a soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin'

Soul suckin', soul suckin' world

Business as usual

Day after day

Business as usual

Feel like walking away

A barrell of monkeys

Or band of renown

Business as usual

Is breakin' me down

Breakin' me down

Center Of The Universe lyrics - Eagles

I come before you with my heart in my hand

Hoping you can see me through this veil of tears

Somehow I've got to make you understand

Ah, don't you know me after all these years?

Oh, love, I hate to disappoint you

But there's something you should know

This is not the center of the universe

That's alright with me

This is not the center of the universe

But it's where I wanna be

I will be with you everywhere you go

In gentle breezes that caress your skin

And you will see me in the silent snow

In everything that comes around again

Oh, love, I'll always be beside you

Wherever you may roam

Someday, with all the stars to guide you

You will find your way back home

This is not the center of the universe

That's alright with me

This is not the center of the universe

It's Your World Now lyrics - Eagles

A perfect day, the sun is sinkin' low

As evening falls, the gentle breezes blow

The time we shared went by so fast

Just like a dream, we knew it couldn't last

But I'd do it all again

If I could, somehow

But I must be leavin' soon

It's your world now

It's your world now

My race is run

I'm moving on

Like the setting sun

No sad goodbyes

No tears allowed

You'll be alright

It's your world now

Even when we are apart

You'll always be in my heart

When dark clouds appear in the sky

Remember true love never dies

But first a kiss, one glass of wine

Just one more dance while there's still time

My one last wish: someday, you'll see

How hard I tried and how much you meant to me

It's your world now

Use well the time

Be part of something good

Leave something good behind

The curtain falls

I take my bow

That's how it's meant to be

It's your world now

It's your world now

It's your world now

Hole In The World lyrics - Eagles

[Chorus:]

There's a hole in the world tonight.

There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.

There's a hole in the world tonight.

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.

They say that love is just a state of mind,

But all this fighting over who will be anointed.

Oh how can people be so blind

[Chorus:]

There's a hole in the world tonight.

There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.

There's a hole in the world tonight.

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,

Cool water running through the burning sand,

Until we learn to love one another

We will never reach the promise land.

[Chorus:]

There's a hole in the world tonight.

There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.

There's a hole in the world tonight.

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

[Repeat chorus: (no music)]

[Repeat chorus: 4x's (fade out)]

Please Come Home For Christmas lyrics - Eagles

Bells will be ringing this sad sad news

Oh what a Christmas to have the blues

My baby's gone I have no friends

To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"

Christmas carols by candlelight

Please come home for Christmas

Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas by New Years night

Friends and relations send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the ones you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam

Christmas and new Years will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, happy once again

Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, Christmas once again

Get Over It lyrics - Eagles

I turn on the tube and what do I see

A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"

They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else

Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves

Victim of this, victim of that

Your momma's too thin and your daddy's too fat

Get over it

Get over it

All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash

But you might feel better if I gave you some cash

The more I think about it, Old Billy was right

Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight

You don't want to work, you want to live like a king

But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing

Get over it

Get over it

If you don't want to play, then you might as well split

Get over it, Get over it

It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak

You're makin' the most of your losin' streak

Some call it sick, but I call it weak

You drag it around like a ball and chain

You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain

You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown

Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down

Bitch about the present and blame it on the past

I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass

Get over it

Get over it

All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit

Get over it, get over it

Get over it

Get over it

It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit

Get over it, get over it

Love Will Keep Us Alive lyrics - Eagles

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

Don't you worry

Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride

The world is changing

Right before your eyes

Now I've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

Now I've found you

There's no more emptiness inside

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

[Solo]

I would die for you

Climb the highest mountain

Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you've given me the will to survive

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive

The Girl From Yesterday lyrics - Eagles

It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye

Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry

He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away

And she became the girl from yesterday

He took a plane across the sea

To some foreign land

She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand

How someone who had been so close could be so far away

And she became the girl from yesterday

She doesn't know what's right

She doesn't know what's wrong

She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long

And she doesn't count the teardrops

That she's cried while he's away

Because she knows deep in her heart

That he'll be back someday

The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone

Talking to a memory that's never coming home

She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say

But she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Yeh, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

Learn To Be Still lyrics - Eagles

It's just another day in paradise

As you stumble to your bed

You'd give anything to silence

Those voices ringing in your head

You thought you could find happiness

Just over that green hill

You thought you would be satisfied

But you never will

Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd

We don't know how to be alone

So we wander 'round this desert

And wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock cries out for another

And they keep answering that bell

And one more starry-eyed messiah

Meets a violent farewell

Learn to be still

Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden

They don't smell so sweet

Maybe you've forgotten

The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contradictions

In all these messages we send

We keep asking, "How do I get out of here?

Where do I fit in?"

Though the world is torn and shaken

Even if your heart is breakin'

It's waiting for you to awaken

And someday you will

Learn to be still

Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'

Keep on runnin'

Tequila Sunrise (Live) lyrics - Eagles

It's another tequila sunrise

Starin' slowly 'cross the sky,

And said goodbye

He was just a hired hand

Working on a dream he planned to try

The days go by

Every night when the sun goes down

Just another lonely boy in town

And she's out runnin' 'round

She wasn't just another woman

And I couldn't keep from comin' on

It's been so long

Oh, and it's a hollow feelin'

When it comes down to dealin' friends

It never ends

Take another shot of courage

Wonder why the right words never come

You just get numb

It's another tequila sunrise,

This old world still looks the same,

Another frame

Hotel California (Live) lyrics - Eagles

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year (Any time of year)

You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain

"Please bring me my wine."

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine."

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice

And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax," said the night man

"We are programmed to receive

You can check-out any time you like

But you can never leave!"

Wasted Time (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Well, baby, there you stand

With your little head down in your hand

Oh, my God, you can't believe

It's happening again

Your baby's gone,

And you're all alone

And it looks like the end.

You're back out on the street.

And you're tryin' to remember.

How do you start it over?

You don't know if you can.

You don't care much

For a stranger's touch,

But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone

This far down the line

But I know what's been on your mind

You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking

About the first time that you fell, fell

You didn't love the boy too much, no, no,

You just loved the boy too well, well, well, well.

So you live from day to day,

And you dream about tomorrow

And the hours go by like minutes

And the shadows come to stay

So you take a little something

To make them go away

I could have done so many things, baby

If I could only stop my mind

From wonderin' what I left behind

And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

The love has come and gone

The years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me

Before you went out on your own,

"Sometimes to keep it together,

We got to leave it alone."

So you can get on with your search, baby,

And I can get on with mine

And maybe someday we will find

That it wasn't really wasted time

Pretty Maids All In A Row (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Hi there. How are 'ya?

Been a long time

Seems like we've come a long way

And my, but we learn so slow

And heroes, they come and they go

And leave us behind

As if we're supposed to know why

Oh, tell me why

Why do we give up our hearts to the past?

And why must we grow up so fast?

And all you wishing-well fools with your fortunes

Someone should send you a rose

With love from a friend,

Nice to hear from you again

And the storybook comes to a close

Gone are the ribbons and bows

Things to remember places to go

Pretty maids all in a row

All in a row

All in a row

I Can't Tell You Why (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Look at us baby, up all night

Tearing our love apart

Aren't we the same two people

Who lived through years in the dark?

Every time I try to walk away

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

When we get crazy

It just ain't right

(try to keep your head, little girl)

Girl, I get lonely, too

You don't have to worry

Just hold on tight

(don't get caught in your little world)

'Cause I love you

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see

We make it harder than it has to be

And I can't tell you why

No, baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

Every time I try to walk away

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

No, no, baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why, no

New York Minute (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Harry got up

Dressed all in black

Went down to the station

And he never came back

They found his clothing

Scattered somewhere down the track

And he won't be down on Wall Street

in the morning

He had a home

The love of a girl

But men get lost sometimes

As years unfurl

One day he crossed some line

And he was too much in this world

But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Things can get pretty strange

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Lying here in the darkness

You hear the sirens wail

Somebody going to emergency

Somebody's going to jail

If you find somebody to love in this world

You better hang on tooth and nail

The wolf is always at the door

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Things can get a little strange

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

And in these days

When darkness falls early

And people rush home

To the ones they love

You better take a fool's advice

And take care of your own

'Cause one day they're here;

Next day they're gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders

And took a walk down through the park

The leaves were falling around me

The groaning city in the gathering dark

On some solitary rock

A desperate lover left his mark,

He said "Baby, I've changed. Please come back."

What the head makes cloudy

The heart makes very clear

I know the days were so much brighter

In the time when she was here

But I know there's somebody somewhere

Make these dark clouds disappear

Until that day, I have to believe

I believe, I believe

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

Things can get really strange

In a New York Minute

Everything can change

In a New York Minute

The Last Resort (Live) lyrics - Eagles

She came from Providence

One in Rhode Island

Where the old world shadows hang

Heavy in the air

She packed her hopes and dreams

Like a refugee

Just as her father came

Across the sea

She heard about a place

People were smilin'

They spoke about the red man's way

How they loved the land

They came from everywhere

To the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand

Or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

While the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down

Across the desert

Through the canyons of the coast

To the Malibu

Where the pretty people play

Hungry for power

To light their neon way

Give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land

Nobody caught 'em

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

And Jesus people bought 'em

They called it paradise

The place to be

They watched the hazy sun

Sinking in the sea

We can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign said, "Jesus is coming."

Brought the white man's burden down

Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?

What is yours and what is mine?

'Cause there is no more new frontier

We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs

And justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of God

And you can see them there

On Sunday morning

They stand up and sing about

What it's like up there

They call it paradise

I don't know why

You call someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye

Take It Easy (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Well, I'm a-running down the road

Tryin' to loosen my load

I've got seven women on my mind

Four that wanna own me

Two that wanna stone me

One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels 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-standing on a corner

In Winslow, Arizona

Such a fine sight to see

It's a girl, my Lord

In a flat-bed Ford

Slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

We may lose and we may win

Though we will never be here again

So open up, I'm climbin' in

Take it easy, alright

Well, I'm running down the road

Trying to loosen my load

Got a world of trouble on my mind

Lookin' for a lover

Who won't blow my cover

She's so hard to find

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Come on, baby

Don't say "Maybe"

I gotta know

If your sweet love

Is gonna save me

Well, you know we got it easy

We oughta take it easy

In The City (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Somewhere out on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

I know there must be somethin' better

but there's nowhere else in sight

It's survival in the city

When you live from day to day

City streets don't have much pity

When you're down, that's where you'll stay

In the city, oh, oh.

In the city

I was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty

No one's there to catch you when you fall

Somewhere out on that horizon

Faraway from the neon sky

I know there must be somethin' better

And I can't stay another night

In the city, oh, oh.

In the city

Life In The Fast Lane (Live) lyrics - Eagles

He was a hard-headed man,

He was brutally handsome,

And she was terminally pretty

She held him up,

And he held her for ransom

In the heart of the cold, cold city

He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude

They said he was ruthless, said he was crude

They had one thing in common, they were good in bed

She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Eager for action,

And hot for the game

The coming attraction,

The drop of a name

They knew all the right people,

They took all the right pills

They threw outrageous parties,

They paid heavenly bills

There were lines on the mirror,

Lines on her face

She pretended not to notice,

She was caught up in the race

Out every evening,

Until it was light

He was too tired to make it,

She was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane

Blowin' and burnin',

Blinded by thirst

They didn't see the stop sign,

Took a turn for the worst

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring.

We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddamn thing."

He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."

"And the doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."

They went rushin' down that freeway,

Messed around and got lost

They didn't knew they were just dyin' to get off and it was...

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane,

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Desperado (Live) lyrics - Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Will hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

(Let somebody love you)

You better let somebody love you before it's too late

The Long Run lyrics - Eagles

I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot

I used to stay out till the break of day

Oh, that didn't get it

It was high time I quit it

I just couldn't carry on that way

Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true

Didn't know I was so lonely, till I found you

You can go the distance

We'll find out in the long run

(In the long run)

We can handle some resistance

If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)

People talkin' about us

They got nothin' else to do

When it all comes down we will

Still come through

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run

You know I don't understand why you don't

Treat yourself better

Do the crazy things that you do

'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby

Couldn't hold a candle to you

Did you do it for love?

Did you do it for money?

Did you do it for spite?

Did you think you had to, honey?

Who is gonna make it?

We'll find out in the long run

(In the long run)

I know we can take it

If our love is a strong one

(Is a strong one)

Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'

Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin'

In the long run

Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run

In the long run

In the long run ...

I Can't Tell You Why lyrics - Eagles

Look at us baby, up all night

Tearing our love apart

Aren't we the same two people

Who lived through years in the dark?

Every time I try to walk away

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

When we get crazy

It just ain't right

(try to keep your head, little girl)

Girl, I get lonely, too

You don't have to worry

Just hold on tight

(don't get caught in your little world)

'Cause I love you

Nothing's wrong as far as I can see

We make it harder than it has to be

And I can't tell you why

No, baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

Every time I try to walk away

Something makes me turn around and stay

And I can't tell you why

No, no, baby, I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why

I can't tell you why, no

In The City lyrics - Eagles

Somewhere out there on that horizon

Out beyond the neon lights

I know there must be somethin' better

but there's nowhere else in sight

It's survival in the city

When you live from day to day

City streets don't have much pity

When you're down, that's where you'll stay

In the city, oh, oh.

In the city

I was born here in the city

With my back against the wall

Nothing grows, and life ain't very pretty

Somewhere out on that horizon

I know there must be somethin' better

And I can't stay another night

In the city, oh, oh.

The Disco Strangler lyrics - Eagles

Lookin' for the good life

dressed to kill

She don't have to worry 'cause

there's always someone else who will

Loose and loaded every night

Dancin' underneath the flashin' light

sayin, "Look at me, baby, look at me.

I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm somebody."

Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler

He's been around here all along, baby,

Been waiting for his time to come.

You lookin' for attention, darlin'

He will surely give you some

He's the crimson in your face du jour,

the fiddler in your darkest night.

He's the melody without a cure and

Rome is burning, but that's all right.

Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler

Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler

The King Of Hollywood lyrics - Eagles

Well, he sits up there on his leatherette

Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet

When he thinks he wants a closer look,

he gets out his little black telephone book

(He's calling, calling, calling

He's calling, calling, calling

He's calling ,calling, calling

He's calling)

"Come sit down here beside me, honey.

Let's have a little heart to heart.

Now look at me and tell me, darlin',

how badly do you want this part?

Are you willing to sacrifice?

And are you willing to be real nice?

All your talent and my good taste,

I'd hate to see it go to waste."

"We gon' get you an apartment, honey.

We gon' get you a car.

(spoken) Yeah, we're gonna take care of you, darlin'.

We gon' make you a movie star.

For years I've seen 'em come and go."

He says, "I've had 'em all, 'ya know.

I handled everything in my own way.

I made 'em what they are today."

After 'while nothin' was pretty.

After 'while everything got lost.

Still, his Jacuzzi runneth over.

Still he just couldn't get off.

He's just another power junky.

Just another silk scarf monkey.

You'd know it if you saw his stuff.

The man just isn't big enough.

Heartache Tonight lyrics - Eagles

Somebody's gonna hurt someone

before the night is through

Somebody's gonna come undone.

There's nothin' we can do.

Everybody wants to touch somebody

if it takes all night.

Everybody wants to take a little chance,

Make it come out right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

a heartache tonight, I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, I know.

Lord, I know.

Some people like to stay out late

Some folks can't hold out that long

But nobody wants to go home now.

there's too much goin' on.

This night is gonna last forever.

Last all, last all summer long.

Some time before the sun comes up

The radio is gonna play that song.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight, I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight, I know.

Lord I know.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

the moon's shinin' bright

so turn out the light, and we'll get it right.

There's gonna be a heartache tonight, a

heartache tonight I know.

Heartache baby,

Somebody's gonna hurt someone, (somebody)

Before the night is through

Somebody's gonna come undone,

There's nothin' we can do

(Everybody) Everybody wants to touch somebody

if it takes all night

Everybody wants to take a little chance

To make it come out right

There's gonna be a heartache tonight

A heartache tonight, I know

There's gonna be a heartache tonight,

A heartache tonight ,I know

Let's go.

We can beat around the bushes;

we can get down to the bone

We can leave it in the parkin' lot,

but either way, there's gonna be a

heartache tonight, a heartache tonight I know.

There'll be a heartache tonight

a heartache tonight I know.

Those Shoes lyrics - Eagles

Tell us what you're gonna do tonight to mama

There must be someplace you can go

In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama

There must be someone you know

God knows, you're lookin' good enough

But you're so smooth and the world's so rough

You might have somethin' to lose

Oh, no, pretty mama

What you gonna do in those shoes?

Got those pretty little straps around your ankles

Got those shiny little chains around your heart

You got to have your independence

But you don't know just where to start

Desperation in the singles bars

An' all those jerkoffs in their fancy cars

You can't believe your reviews

Oh, no, you can't do that

Once you started wearin' those shoes

They're lookin' at you, leanin' on you

Tell you anything you want to hear

They give you tablets of love

They're waiting for you

Got to score you

Handy with a shovel and so sincere

Ooh, they got the kid glove

You just want someone to talk to

They just wanna get their hands on you

You get whatever you choose

Oh, no, you can't do that

Once you started wearin' those shoes

Oh, no, you can't do that

Once you started wearin' those shoes

Teenage Jail lyrics - Eagles

Stare out the window,

You can't make the time go

You don't even know why you're here

Wait for the weekend to go off the deep end

and make everything disappear

You're lost in a teenage jail

So you and so vicious and so frail

where something is always for sale

You're lost in a teenage jail.

You're not like your mothers.

you're not like the others

You're not quite like anyone else,

They don't even know you,

Got nothing to show you,

So get something good for yourself

You're lost in a teenage jail

So young and so vicious and so frail

Where something is always for sale.

You're lost in a teenage jail.

The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks lyrics - Eagles

There was beer all over the dance floor

and the band was playin' rhythm and blues

You got down and did the gator, and half

an hour later, you were barfin' all over your

Girlfriend's shoes.

But the Greeks don't want no freaks.

The Greeks don't want no freaks

Just put a little smile on them rosy

cheeks,

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks.

(GATOR!!)

She was the pride and the passion of Dixie

She did exactly what her daddy had planned.

She was perfect little sister until somebody missed

her and they found her in the bushes with

the boys in the band

But the Greeks don't want no freaks

The Greeks don't want no freaks

So put a great big smile on them rosy cheeks,

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks

No, the Greeks don't want no freaks

Said, the Greeks don't want no freaks

Just put that monster smile on them rosy cheeks

'Cause the Greeks don't want no freaks

No, the Greeks don't want no freaks,

Ahh...

The Sad Cafe lyrics - Eagles

Out in the shiny night, the rain

Was softly falling

The tracks that ran down the boulevard had

All been washed away

Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling

And I remember the times we spent

Inside the Sad Cafe

Oh, it seemed like a holy place

Protected by amazing grace

And we would sing right out loud, the

Things we could not say

We thought we could change this world

With words like "love" and "freedom"

We were part of the lonely crowd

Inside the Sad Cafe

Oh, expecting to fly

We would meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by

Some of their dreams came true

Some just passed away

And some of them stayed behind

Inside the Sad Cafe

The clouds rolled in and hid that shore

Now that Glory Train, it don't stop here no more

Now I look at the years gone by

And wonder at the powers that be

I don't know why fortune smiles on some

And lets the rest go free

Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall

But things in this life change very slowly

If they ever change at all

No use in asking why

It just turned out that way

So meet me at midnight baby

Inside the Sad Cafe

Why don't you meet me at midnight, babe

Inside the Sad Cafe

Hotel California lyrics - Eagles

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself

"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year (Any time of year)

You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain

"Please bring me my wine."

He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine."

And still those voices are calling from far away

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Such a lovely face

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)

Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling

The pink champagne on ice

And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

And in the master's chambers

They gathered for the feast

They stab it with their steely knives

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember

I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

"Relax," said the night man

"We are programmed to receive

You can check-out any time you like

But you can never leave!"

New Kid In Town lyrics - Eagles

There's talk on the street

It sounds so familiar

Great expectations, everybody's watching you

People you meet

They all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Everybody loves you, so don't let them down

You look in her eyes

The music begins to play

Hopeless romantics, here we go again

But after awhile

You're lookin' the other way

It's those restless hearts that never mend

Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Will she still love you when you're not around?

There's so many things you should have told her

But night after night you're willing to hold her

Just hold her

Tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street

It's there to remind you

It doesn't really matter which side you're on

You're walking away

And they're talking behind you

They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along

Where you've been lately? There's a new kid in town

Everybody loves him

Don't they?

Now he's holding her, and you're still around

Oh, my, my

There's a new kid in town

Just another new kid in town

Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town

Everybody's walking like the new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

I don't wanna hear it

There's a new kid in town

I don't wanna hear it

There's a new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

(Everybody's talking)

There's a new kid in town

(People started walking)

There's a new kid in town

There's a new kid in town

Life In The Fast Lane lyrics - Eagles

He was a hard-headed man,

He was brutally handsome,

And she was terminally pretty

She held him up,

And he held her for ransom

In the heart of the cold, cold city

He had nasty reputation as a cruel dude

They said he was ruthless, said he was crude

They had one thing in common, they were good in bed

She'd say, "Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red."

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action,

Hot for the game

The coming attraction,

The drop of a name

They knew all the right people,

They took all the right pills

They threw outrageous parties,

They paid heavenly bills

There were lines on the mirror,

Lines on her face

She pretended not to notice,

She was caught up in the race

Out every evening,

Until it was light

He was too tired to make it,

She was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane

Blowin' and burnin',

Blinded by thirst

They didn't see the stop sign,

Took a turn for the worst

She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring.

We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddamn thing."

He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."

"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."

They went rushin' down that freeway,

Messed around and got lost

They didn't care they were just dyin' to get off and it was...

Life in the fast lane

Surely make you lose your mind

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane,

Everything all the time

Life in the fast lane,

Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane

Wasted Time lyrics - Eagles

Well, baby, there you stand

With your little head down in your hand

Oh, my God, you can't believe

It's happening again

Your baby's gone,

And you're all alone

And it looks like the end.

And you're back out on the street.

And you're tryin' to remember.

How do you start it over?

You don't know if you can.

You don't care much

For a stranger's touch,

But you can't hold your man.

You never thought you'd be alone

This far down the line

And I know what's been on your mind

You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinking

About the first time that you fell

You didn't love the boy too much, no, no,

You just loved the boy too well, well, well.

So you live from day to day,

And you dream about tomorrow

And the hours go by like minutes

And the shadows come to stay

So you take a little something

To make them go away

I could have done so many things, baby

If I could only stop my mind

From wonderin' what I left behind

And from worrying 'bout this wasted time

Another love has come and gone

And the years keep rushing on

I remember what you told me

Before you went out on your own,

"Sometimes to keep it together,

We got to leave it alone."

So you can get on with your search, baby,

And I can get on with mine

And maybe someday we will find

That it wasn't really wasted time

Victim Of Love lyrics - Eagles

What kind of love have you got?

You should be home, but you're not

A room full of noise

And dangerous boys

Still makes you thirsty and hot

I heard about you and that man

There's just one thing I don't understand

You say he's a liar

And he put out your fire

How come you still got his gun in your hand?

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

You got your stories to tell

Victim of love, it's such an easy part

And you know how to play it so well

Some people never come clean

I think you know what I mean

You're walkin' the wire

Pain and desire

Looking for love in between

Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine

This ain't no time to be cool

And tell all your girlfriends,

Your been-around-the-world friends

That talk is for losers and fools

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

I could be wrong, but I'm not, no, I'm not

Victim of love, we're not so far apart

Show me, what kind of love have you got?

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

I could be wrong, but I'm not

Victim of love, we're not so far apart

What kind of love have you got?

Victim of love, you're just a victim of love

I could be wrong, but I'm not, no, I'm not

Victim of love, now you're a victim of love

What kind of love have you got?

What kind of love have you got?

What kind of love have you got?

Pretty Maids All In A Row lyrics - Eagles

Hi there. How are 'ya?

It's been a long time

Seems like we've come a long way

My, but we learn so slow

And heroes, they come and they go

And leave us behind

As if we're supposed to know why

Why do we give up our hearts to the past?

And why must we grow up so fast?

And all you wishing-well fools with your fortunes

Someone should send you a rose

With love from a friend,

It's nice to hear from you again

And the storybook comes to a close

Gone are the ribbons and bows

Things to remember places to go

Pretty maids all in a row

Try And Love Again lyrics - Eagles

When you're out there on your own

Where your memories can find you

Like a circle goes around

You were lost until you found out

What it all comes down to

One by one

The lonely feelings come

Day by day, they slowly fade away

Oh, the look was in her eyes

You never know what might be found there

She was dancing right in time

And the moves she made so fine

Like the music that surrounds her

Should I stay or go?

I really want to know

Would I lose or win

If I try and love again?

Gonna try and love again

I'm gonna try and love again

Gonna try and love

Right or wrong, what's done is done

It's only moments that you borrow

But the thoughts will linger on

Of the lady and her song

When the sun comes up tomorrow

Well, it might take years to see

Through all these tears

Don't let go

When you find it you will know

Oh, gonna try and love again

Oh, gonna try and love again

Oh, gonna try and love again

Sometimes lose, sometimes win,

Sometimes you need a friend

Gonna try, gonna try

Gonna try, gonna try [etc]

The Last Resort lyrics - Eagles

She came from Providence

One in Rhode Island

Where the old world shadows hang

Heavy in the air

She packed her hopes and dreams

Like a refugee

Just as her father came

Across the sea

She heard about a place

People were smilin'

They spoke about the red man's way

How they loved the land

And they came from everywhere

To the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand

Or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

While the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down

Across the desert

Through the canyons of the coast

To the Malibu

Where the pretty people play

Hungry for power

To light their neon way

Give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land

Nobody caught 'em

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

And Jesus people bought 'em

They called it paradise

The place to be

They watched the hazy sun

Sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign "Jesus is coming"

Brought the white man's burden down

Brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design?

What is yours and what is mine?

'Cause there is no more new frontier

We have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs

And justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of God

And you can see them there

On Sunday morning

They stand up and sing about

What it's like up there

They call it paradise

I don't know why

You call someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye
