The Eagle Songtext
von Jamey Johnson

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 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, 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, don′t mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle′s in the air

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, 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
