The Eagle

Waylon Jennings · Pure [2009]

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone

I've always been an eagle it's been a while since I have flown

My claws are as sharp as ever so's my eagle eyes

Something's gonna go to ground when the eagle flies.



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 when I have to, they've turned the eagle loose.



So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight

My feathers are all ruffled now I'm ready for a fight

Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care

When you feel the shadow crossing the eagle's in the air.
