Steve Earle - Me & The Eagle Lyrics

Font:

Align:

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

And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue

I stood there in awe though Id seen it before

I was born in these mountains and Ill die here for sure

Ive traveled around Ive seen city lights

But nothin that shined like the big sky at night

Chorus:

Some mornings will find me up above the timberline

Lonesome dont seem like much once youre this high

When its 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 Im alone I dont really mind

But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes

Repeat chorus

In my dreams theres a horse, he stands eighteen hands high

Hes as white as the snow and theres fire in his eyes

And hell bare only me though others have tried

And together well travel up across the divide

Repeat chorus
