The Eagles - Live From The Forum MMXVIII
And Steuart Smith
"Seven Bridges Road"
Vocals by The Eagles' Five-Part Harmony
There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road
There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
Down the seven bridges road
How ya doin'?
We're The Eagles from Los Angeles
Everybody OK?
Please give a warm welcome to Deacon Frey
"Takin' It Easy"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna 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
Take it easy
Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed 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
Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna 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 make you crazy
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Thank you, guys.
"One Of These Nights"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons and you got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
Ooh, someone to be kind to
In between the dark and the light
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We're gonna find one
Oh, one that really screams
Oh, I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her, but she's nowhere in sight
Ooh, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right (oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these nights
Mmm, in between the dark and the light
Comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get you, baby, one of these nights
One of these nights
Hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo
One of these nights
I can feel you
I can feel
One of these nights
Comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you, now
(One of these nights)
And it gets so dark
So dark and cold and lonely
(One of these nights)
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights
One of these nights
Hoo, hoohoooo
One of these nights
Hoo, hoohoooo
"Take It To The Limit"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman
Who might have loved me
And I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life running round
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same
So put me on a highway
Show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back
You're running back
You're coming back for more...
So, put me on a highway
And show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
You gotta take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
You gotta take it to the limit
One more time
"Tequila Sunrise"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky
Said Goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams 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
hmmmmmmmm.....
"In The City"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
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 children
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you live from day to day
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
City streets don't have much pity no
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you're down that's where you'll stay...
In the city
(ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city
(ah-ha...)
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 catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better (better)
And I can't stay another night
In the city
(ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city
(ah-ha...)
In the city
In the city
"I Can't Tell You Why"
Lead Vocals: Timothy B. Schmit
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?
Oh, oooh
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
(Try to keep your head, little girl)
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
Thank you, very much
That's Steuart Smith, over there on the guitar
"New Kid In Town"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
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 been lately?
There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him don't they?
And 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...
(Ooh hoo)
Everybody's talking 'bout
The new kid in town
(Ooh hoo)
Everybody's walking like
The new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
(There's a new kid in town)
(There's a new kid in town)
(There's a new kid in town)
"How Long"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
And Deacon Frey
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 a 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?
Tell me, how long, how long
Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say
(somebody)
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
Muddy River runs so deep
How long, how long
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
B-b-b-bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
"Peaceful Easy Feeling"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whisperin' in, in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
And I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
I'm already standin'
Yes, I'm already standin'
On the ground
Thank you all, so much
"Ol' 55"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
Now, the sun's coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, don't you know that the feeling getting stronger
And it's six in the morning
Gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Well, there's cars all a-passin' me
The trucks there're all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place
And now the sun's coming up
And I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, don't you know, the feeling getting stronger
Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up
Yes, it is
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Freeway, cars and trucks
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Yeah.......
"Lyin' Eyes"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man, and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night, anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers, "That it's only for a while"
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She goes away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
"Love Will Keep Us Alive"
Lead Vocals: Timothy B. Schmit
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
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
"Don't Let Our Love Stop Slippin' Away"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
We've been up all night long
Trying to solve a problem, well, it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleeping if our love is wearing thin
'Cause I ain't giving up, you ain't giving in.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away.
And real love walks, a real thin line
No communication will kill it every time
So open up your heart, baby we can work it out
Talkin' the kind of love baby, oh people dream about.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away.
It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away, yeah.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away, yeah...
"Those Shoes"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, mama
There must be some place 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 tiny 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
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 to 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
"Already Gone"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo
Oh, the letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(that's right)
And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Thank you guys, so very much.
"Walk Away"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
Taking my time
Choosin' my line
Trying to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Oh, yeah
Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without ya
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' to doubt ya
Comes today
Talk all night here comes the mornin'
Come with me
Forget what we said and greet the day
Walk away
Yeah, walk away
Walk away
Yeah
I've got to cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
This is ok, I got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya
Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away
Walk Away
Yeah, walk Away
Walk Away
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away
Is everybody ok?
Please say hello to my buddy, Steuart Smith
"Life's Been Good"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo....
ok get ready here it comes, here it comes
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait
They write me emails, tell me Vince is great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say, "I'm cool" "He's cool")
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find some more
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
Oh, and sometimes I still try
(Everybody say, "Oh yeah" "Oh yeah")
I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, well, well, well
Oh, yeah......
"Boys Of Summer"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Don't know you're not home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
I don't understand what happened to our love
But, baby, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And you're smiling at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said:
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let 'em go, but
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that top pulled down
And that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
"Heartache Tonight"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
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
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
Sometimes 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 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
Wooooo.....
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
(somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And hope it works out alright
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Oh, let's go
We can feel around the bushes
We can hit down to the ball
We can leave it in the parking 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
Whoo-hoo.....
"Funk #49"
"Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh"
I sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think you actin' right
You don't think it's showin'
A jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you tryin' to hand me?
That's a so nice
Sleep all day, out all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'
"Life In The Fast Lane"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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, they 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, yeah
Are you with me so far?
Good
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, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything, all the time
Life in the fast lane, yeah
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring"
"We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a hot dam 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 makes 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
"Hotel California"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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 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 Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That 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 1969"
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!"
"Rocky Mountain Way"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it's safe to say
Time to open fire
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad
No, we don't
'Cause the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had
Oh, well....
And he's tellin' us this and he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
(You sing it)
Time to change the batter
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad
'Cause the story sad
'Cause the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had
Oh, well, well, well
"Desperado"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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
But, I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can 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
But, 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"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til 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 'til 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 débutants 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)
We were 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In the long run
In the long run
Gonna find out
Ooh fi-fi-fi-nd out
It's a long, long, long, long
Long, long, long, long
Ooh, my, my, my, baby
Ooh, run, run, run, baby now
It's a long, long, long, long
Just a keepin' on runnin', baby
Just keep on runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just a little bit faster now
Just a little bit faster now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run, run, baby
Oh, run, run, baby
Yeah, yeah, yea
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run baby
It's a long run......
Thank you
Hoof hearted?
Ice melted.

"Seven Bridges Road"
Vocals by The Eagles' Five-Part Harmony
There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the seven bridges road
There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of thyme sweetened honey
Down the seven bridges road
How ya doin'?
We're The Eagles from Los Angeles
Everybody OK?
Please give a warm welcome to Deacon Frey
"Takin' It Easy"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna 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
Take it easy
Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed 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
Well, I'm a-runnin' down the road tryna 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 make you crazy
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, we got it easy
We oughta take it easy
Thank you, guys.
"One Of These Nights"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
One of these nights
One of these crazy old nights
We're gonna find out, pretty mama
What turns on your lights
The full moon is calling, the fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers and moans
You got your demons and you got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
Ooh, someone to be kind to
In between the dark and the light
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these dreams
One of these lost and lonely dreams, now
We're gonna find one
Oh, one that really screams
Oh, I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself
I've been searching for an angel in white
I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both
And I can feel her, but she's nowhere in sight
Ooh, loneliness will blind you
In between the wrong and the right (oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, coming right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you one of these nights
One of these nights
Mmm, in between the dark and the light
Comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you
Get you, baby, one of these nights
One of these nights
Hoo, hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo
One of these nights
I can feel you
I can feel
One of these nights
Comin' right behind you
Swear I'm gonna find you, now
(One of these nights)
And it gets so dark
So dark and cold and lonely
(One of these nights)
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy nights
One of these nights
Hoo, hoohoooo
One of these nights
Hoo, hoohoooo
"Take It To The Limit"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
All alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking 'bout a woman
Who might have loved me
And I never knew
You know I've always been a dreamer
Spent my life running round
And it's so hard to change
Can't seem to settle down
But the dreams I've seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same
So put me on a highway
Show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you're looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can't find the door
Can't find it anywhere
When there's nothing to believe in
Still you're coming back
You're running back
You're coming back for more...
So, put me on a highway
And show me a sign
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
You gotta take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
You gotta take it to the limit
One more time
"Tequila Sunrise"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky
Said Goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams 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
hmmmmmmmm.....
"In The City"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
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 children
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you live from day to day
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
City streets don't have much pity no
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When you're down that's where you'll stay...
In the city
(ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city
(ah-ha...)
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 catch you when you fall
Somewhere out on that horizon
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Faraway from the neon sky
I know there must be somethin' better (better)
And I can't stay another night
In the city
(ah-ha...)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the city
(ah-ha...)
In the city
In the city
"I Can't Tell You Why"
Lead Vocals: Timothy B. Schmit
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?
Oh, oooh
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
(Try to keep your head, little girl)
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
Thank you, very much
That's Steuart Smith, over there on the guitar
"New Kid In Town"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
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 been lately?
There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him don't they?
And 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...
(Ooh hoo)
Everybody's talking 'bout
The new kid in town
(Ooh hoo)
Everybody's walking like
The new kid in town
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
(There's a new kid in town)
(There's a new kid in town)
(There's a new kid in town)
"How Long"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
And Deacon Frey
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 a 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?
Tell me, how long, how long
Woman will you weep
How long, how long
Rock yourself to sleep
Everybody feels alright you know, I heard some poor fool say
(somebody)
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
Muddy River runs so deep
How long, how long
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
B-b-b-bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
"Peaceful Easy Feeling"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Aw but she can't take you any way
You don't already know how to go
And I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground
I get this feelin' I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whisperin' in, in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
And I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
I'm already standin'
Yes, I'm already standin'
On the ground
Thank you all, so much
"Ol' 55"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
Now, the sun's coming up
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, don't you know that the feeling getting stronger
And it's six in the morning
Gave me no warning
I had to be on my way
Well, there's cars all a-passin' me
The trucks there're all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place
And now the sun's coming up
And I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Oh Lord, don't you know, the feeling getting stronger
Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my ol' 55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up
Yes, it is
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Freeway, cars and trucks
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Yeah.......
"Lyin' Eyes"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man, and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night, anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers, "That it's only for a while"
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She goes away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool
My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you used to be
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
"Love Will Keep Us Alive"
Lead Vocals: Timothy B. Schmit
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
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
"Don't Let Our Love Stop Slippin' Away"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
We've been up all night long
Trying to solve a problem, well, it's almost dawn
Ain't no time for sleeping if our love is wearing thin
'Cause I ain't giving up, you ain't giving in.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away.
And real love walks, a real thin line
No communication will kill it every time
So open up your heart, baby we can work it out
Talkin' the kind of love baby, oh people dream about.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away.
It's past the point of right or wrong
Let's find a way to just hold on, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away
'Cause the life we've been living
Gets harder every day, yeah
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away, yeah.
Don't let our love start slipping
Our love start slipping away, yeah...
"Those Shoes"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
Tell us what you're gonna do tonight, mama
There must be some place 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 tiny 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
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 to 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
"Already Gone"
Lead Vocals: Deacon Frey
Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo
Oh, the letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(that's right)
And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo, my my, woo hoo hoo
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key
But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Already gone
Thank you guys, so very much.
"Walk Away"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
Taking my time
Choosin' my line
Trying to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Oh, yeah
Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without ya
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' to doubt ya
Comes today
Talk all night here comes the mornin'
Come with me
Forget what we said and greet the day
Walk away
Yeah, walk away
Walk away
Yeah
I've got to cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
This is ok, I got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya
Seems to me you don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me you just turn your pretty head and walk away
Walk Away
Yeah, walk Away
Walk Away
Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk away
Is everybody ok?
Please say hello to my buddy, Steuart Smith
"Life's Been Good"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
I have a mansion, forget the price
Ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels, tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all
They say I'm crazy but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far
My Maserati does one-eighty-five
I lost my license, now I don't drive
I have a limo....
ok get ready here it comes, here it comes
I lock the doors in case I'm attacked
I'm makin' records, my fans they can't wait
They write me emails, tell me Vince is great
So I got me an office, gold records on the wall
Just leave a message, maybe I'll call
Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
(Everybody say, "I'm cool" "He's cool")
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far
I go to parties sometimes until four
It's hard to leave when you can't find some more
It's tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody's so different, I haven't changed
Oh, and sometimes I still try
(Everybody say, "Oh yeah" "Oh yeah")
I keep on goin' guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, well, well, well
Oh, yeah......
"Boys Of Summer"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Don't know you're not home
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
I don't understand what happened to our love
But, baby, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And you're smiling at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said:
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let 'em go, but
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that top pulled down
And that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
"Heartache Tonight"
Lead Vocals: Vince Gill
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
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
Sometimes 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 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
Wooooo.....
Somebody's gonna hurt someone
(somebody)
Before the night is through
Somebody's gonna come undone
There's nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
And hope it works out alright
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
There's gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Oh, let's go
We can feel around the bushes
We can hit down to the ball
We can leave it in the parking 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
Whoo-hoo.....
"Funk #49"
"Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh"
I sleep all day, out all night
I know where you're goin'
I don't think you actin' right
You don't think it's showin'
A jumpin' up, fallin' down
Don't misunderstand me
You don't think that I know your plan
What you tryin' to hand me?
That's a so nice
Sleep all day, out all day
I know what you're doin'
If you're gonna act that way
I think there's trouble brewin'
"Life In The Fast Lane"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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, they 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, yeah
Are you with me so far?
Good
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, yeah
Life in the fast lane
Everything, all the time
Life in the fast lane, yeah
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring"
"We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a hot dam 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 makes 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
"Hotel California"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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 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 Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That 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 1969"
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!"
"Rocky Mountain Way"
Lead Vocals: Joe Walsh
Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it's safe to say
Time to open fire
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad
No, we don't
'Cause the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had
Oh, well....
And he's tellin' us this and he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
(You sing it)
Time to change the batter
And we don't need the ladies
Crying 'cause the story's sad
'Cause the story sad
'Cause the Rocky Mountain Way
Is better than the way we had
Oh, well, well, well
"Desperado"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
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
But, I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can 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
But, 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"
Lead Vocals: Don Henley
I used to hurry a lot
I used to worry a lot
I used to stay out 'til 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 'til 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 débutants 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)
We were 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah
In the long run
In the long run
Gonna find out
Ooh fi-fi-fi-nd out
It's a long, long, long, long
Long, long, long, long
Ooh, my, my, my, baby
Ooh, run, run, run, baby now
It's a long, long, long, long
Just a keepin' on runnin', baby
Just keep on runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Just a little bit faster now
Just a little bit faster now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run, run, baby
Oh, run, run, baby
Yeah, yeah, yea
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run baby
It's a long run......
Thank you
Hoof hearted?
Ice melted.
