******************** THE EAGLE *******************
written by Hank Cochran,Red Lane and Mack Vickery
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone
I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown
My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye
Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies
Verse 2:
Lately i've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
Just because i've been idle don't mean that i'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom,my natural place to roost
I can fly if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose
Chorus:
So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight
My feathers have been ruffled and i'm ready for a fight
Just because i took awhile to fly don't mean that i don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
Chorus.
When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
