Anyways, this is one of my favorite Eagles songs, feel free to post yours:

"Already Gone"

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,woo,hoo,hoo

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,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
Yes, I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song
’cause I’m already gone
Yes, I’m already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night

Take It To the Limit

All alone at the end of the of the evening
And 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
And show me a sign
And 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
And 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

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 and go in style
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess ev'ry 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 nice 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 awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile
You can't hid your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't now way to hide you 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

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, mm
Are you with me so far?

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, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
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 goddam 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 know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You 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
Can hurt you somehow

Don’ you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of heats 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 youger
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 loosin’ 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, before it’s too late

Lesage had this to say about Knight Rider:
I can't believe noone has posted Desperado. Actually the version Clint Black does on the Common Threads tribute CD is fuckin' INCREDIBLE. If you ever get the chance, you MUST listen to it.

---

I pondered it, but decided to go with Life in the Fast Lane because I think it carries a larger significance. IMO, it personified a change in their style after they picked up Joe Walsh. Desperado is one of their better songs, though. I agree Clint Black does it better too.

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 (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's 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 (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

Mirrors on the ceiling
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 nightman
We are programed to recieve
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave

Are we forgetting Take it Easy?

Well, I'm 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 and 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.
So take it easy
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 make you crazy.
Come on baby, don't say maybe,
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.

Oh we got it easy.
We oughta take it easy

Desperado and Hotel California are great songs. Just not my favorite.

Maradon! was naked while typing this:
I remember their first farewell tour when I was in highschool

This was Farewell I

You're probably remembering their reunion after fourteen years broken up.

Lyinar Ka`Bael had this to say about Punky Brewster:
This was Farewell I

You're probably remembering their reunion after fourteen years broken up.

They didn't break up, they took a 14 year vacation!

Hellbender spewed forth this undeniable truth:

Teehee! true enough. And they can have as many farewell tours as they want so long as they number them

qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma')
si ya todo te lo di
¿qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma)
si ya todo te lo di

yo
Tú estás segura de aguantar noches sin mí
todos los secretos de tu intimidad yo conocí
miles de veces tu fallabas y yo no me rendí
¿porqué debemos permitir que esto termine así?

yo
En toda relaciones discusiones, desilusiones
se cometen mil de errores
¿entonces cuál es el hecho de por un mal rato
tú permites que me apliquen esta ley veinte cuatro?
no dejaré que tu familia me acuse
y mucho menos que la gente se burle
es que no cuestan mis caricias
que me juzgue tu consiensia
y la divina justicia

¿qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma')
si ya todo te lo di
¿qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma)
si ya todo te lo di

que
no puedo verte sola (tu lo sabes)
tu dices no quererme ahora (yo se que no)
pasan los días y pasan las horas (y que pasó)
y seguro que por mi lloras (ah ah ah)
no puedo verte sola (tú lo sabes)
tu dices no quererme ahora (yo sé que no)
pasan los dias y pasan las horas (y qué pasó)
y seguro que por mi lloras (ah ah)

busca en la calle
no encontrarás mujer como yo
que te cocine con el amor que lo hacía yo
una mujer que te atienda
que te espere por la noche y que aguante toda tu mierda

ay yo ma
si tú sientes que las palabras calan e hieren
mas si vienen de la persona que uno mas quiere
aprendamos errores, tú me conoces y
sabes que tengo palabra de hombre

¿qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma')
si ya todo te lo di
¿qué vas a hacer sin mí? (yo no sé mami)
cuándo me vaya ya tú nada puedes exigir (cómo que no ma)
si ya todo te lo di

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 form 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 time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road
