Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe?
Some people say this town don't look good in snow
You don't care, I know...
Aw, come on Joe,
You can always change your name
Thanks a lot son, just the same
Ventura highway
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger
Than moonshine
You're gonna go I know
'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair
And the days surround you daylight there
Seasons crying no despair
Alligator lizards in the air
My guess is Joe will stay in Cali just long enough to pick up a trophy(or two) ...
That was Randy's signature song and when he refused to sing it at the end of the tour they kicked him out of the band (or he quit). I love everything the Eagles ever did but it wasn't the same after he left.

Best America song and it ain't close. Great choice. But Joe already changed his name from Burrow to Sheisty.
You and I seem to have the same taste in classic rock.
I'm not a man or machine
I'm just something in between
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
I'm all love, a dynamo
So push the button and let me go
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
Aah, you want me to come alive?
Flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire
Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it (lovin')
(Lovin' every minute of it)
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it (C'mon!)
I got fun, you want some?
I'm ever ready, Dr. Love
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
I'm antenna, aerial
I'm tunin' in, I'm outta control
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
Aah, you got love, you got a deal
You wanna drive then take the wheel
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire
Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it (All right!)
Oh, you want me to come alive?
So flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire
Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it (lovin')

Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
C'mon and touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it

And while we're digging Loverboy(Paul Dean most underrated guitarist in the 80s) here's the 2021-2022 Bengals saying goodbye to their past.
A new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind where I get taken
The road is callin'
Today is the day
I can see
It took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong
Not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh yes I will
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
It's a bright horizon and I'm awakin' now
Oh I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin'
The clouds are breakin'
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play
I can tell
There's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everthing in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong, oh yes I can
I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Far away and left behind, left behind
Oh the sun is shinin' *and I wanna go*
(guitar solo)
Don't look back
A new day is breakin'

I don't mind where I get taken

Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh yes I will
I finally see the dawn arriving
I see beyond the road I'm driving
Far away and left behind
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back...

Meisner was my favorite Eagle by FAR. What a vocal range!!!. So many layers to that voice!!!

Absolutely! Man, I miss those days. So much good music in the seventies.
