The Eagle Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone 

I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown 

My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye 

Something's gonna go tonight, 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, if they turn 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 awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care 

When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air

When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air 

When you feel the shadow crossing, the Eagle's in the air
