Silver Eagle

[Verse 1] Well, he rides into town on the back of a big silver eagle Strapped to his shoulders are the burden of staying on top And the lines in his face tell the story of an uphill flight You can tell how he feels day by day by the songs that he writes He's loved by millions, somehow he's their prisoner as well As he rides down the road in his ten wheel [?] Now he lives for the day that the eagle will carry him home Cause the glamour is over nearly all of his seeds have been flown [Chorus] Letting go silver eagle, there must be a better way of life For this great American poet who's singing his songs about The everyday working man's life [Verse 2] One night on the road just south of the Idaho line We were smoking some contracts and attempting to alter our minds Then just before daylight Hag pushed back his head and he said "I wouldn't put in too much emphasis on being a star Can we do a little bit of living instead" [Chorus] [x2]
