Eagles - How Long lyrics

[Eagles - How Long lyrics]

Like a blue bird with his heart removed
Lonely as a train
I've run just as far as I can run
If I never see the good old
Days shining in the sun
I'll be doing fine and then some

How long, how long woman will you weep
How long, how long rock yourself to sleep

Well, I've been doing time
In lonesome prison
Where the sun doesn't shine
Just outside, the freedom river runs
Out there in that shiny night
With blood hounds on your mind
Don't you know it's the same sad situation?

Everybody feels alright you know
I heard some poor fool say (Somebody Ooh)
Everyone is out there on the loose
Well I wish I lived in the land of fools
No one knew my name
But what you get is not quite what you choose

How long, how long (long and drawn out)
Muddy River runs so deep
How long, how long (long and drawn out)
Good night baby, rock yourself to sleep
Sleep tight baby, rock yourself to sleep
Bye bye baby, rock yourself to sleep
