Bald Eagle

Am, E, F, G, C



The rocket’s red glare

Is bound to singe your hair

Leave you lookin’ bald

I’m one who knows this all too well

Oh well, my youthful looks 

Have gone to Hell


I once had a haram

I’d screw ‘em then I’d scare em

Scare them all away

As I over sang my song
 of freedom and liberty

All goddamn day



Soar, soar away with me

Just one more time, make believe you’re mine



These empty nest blues stink of unpaid dues

I’m a lazy man I’ll admit

But I’ll eat any rat who’s willing to repeat

What I just lost out of my beak


I speak the truth, but only to myself

I had a chance to rule

To be a symbol of strength

But I screwed it all away

Then just flew back here to stay



Soar, soar away with me

Just one more time, make believe you’re mine



So, this bird has landed

My wing’s done been expanded

Extended and stretched

Soaring a bit closer to death 



And day by day I live my life the same old way

Some say that’s okay

But some of them have passed away

And this opinion

Seems to be on its way 
Out


Soar, soar away with me

Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
