Lyrics The Eagle - Jamey Johnson, George Strait

The Eagle

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
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
