Me and the Eagle - Steve Earle

作词：Steve Earle

The eagle looked down

on the river below

And he wrapped his wings round him

and he fell like a stone

And the big salmon fought

but the talons held true

Shuddered as the world

turned from silver to blue

I stood there in awe

though I'd seen it before

I was born in these mountains

and I'll die here for sure

I've traveled around

I've seen city lights

But nothin' that shined

like the big sky at night

Some mornings will find me up

above the timberline

Lonesome don't seem like

much once you're this high

When it's all said and done

I usually find

Me and the eagle are of the same mind

Now when I was young

I took me a wife

But she never took to the high country life

So now I'm alone

I don't really mind

Her name echoes down

from the canyon sometimes

Some mornings will find me up

above the timberline

Lonesome don't seem like

much once you're this high

When it's all said and done

I usually find

Me and the eagle are of the same mind

In my dreams there's a horse

he stands eighteen hands high

He's as white as the snow

and there's fire in his eyes

And he'll bare only me

though others have tried

And together we'll travel up

across the divide

Some mornings will find me up

above the timberline

Lonesome don't seem like

much once you're this high

When it's all said and done

I usually find

Me and the eagle are of the same mind

Me and the eagle are of the same
