Take It To The Limit
Eagles · Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975
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
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
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
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
Take It To The Limit
Released on Eagles' 1975 greatest hits compilation, 'Take It To The Limit' captures the band's signature blend of rock and country storytelling. The track features Don Henley's driving drumming and Glenn Frey's melodic vocals, characteristic of their work during the mid-1970s. While the song does not appear on their original studio albums, it remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's focus on themes of ambition and personal struggle. Its inclusion on the greatest hits collection highlights its enduring appeal and status as a representative recording of the group's broader musical legacy.
