Well he rides into town

on the back of a big silver eagle

Strapped to his shoulders

are the burden of staying on top

And the lines in his face

tell the story of an uphill flight

You can tell how he feels day by day

by the songs that he writes

He's loved by millions somehow

he's their prisoner as well

As he rides down the road

in his ten wheel incomprehensible

Now he lives for the day

that the eagle will carry him home

'Cause the glam or is over

nearly all of his seeds have been flown

Letting go silver eagle

there must be a better way of life

For this great American poet

who's singing his songs about

The everyday working man's life

One night on the road just south of the idaho line

We were smoking some contracts

and attempting to alter our minds

Then just before daylight hag pushed back his head

and he said

i Wouldn't put in too much emphasis on being a star

Can we do a little bit of living instead

Letting go silver eagle

there must be a better way of life

For this great American poet

who's singing his songs about

The everyday working man's life

Letting go silver eagle

there must be a better way of life

This great American poet

who's singing his songs about
