Who here, who were alive and kicking in the 70s don't remember the Eagles?! I mean they were a great band! And I know many identified with their music and lyrics. And Desperado is a classic.Desperado
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't 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 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 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.
Especially the part: "Now it seems to me some fine things, have been laid upon your table, but you only want the ones you can't get." I never thought that was me. But maybe it is. Still, it's a song that, besides epitomizing how I have felt over the years, is also a song from the days of my happiest times: from Kemper to shredding Highway 87 to big Thanksgiving gatherings and life long friends. And a part from another of their songs also said what I have been looking for: "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 whose a little of both and I can feel her when she no where in sight."
So ends track 2.
