Doolin-Dalton
Written by:Browne/Frey/Henley/Souther
They were Doolin', Doolin-Dalton
High or low, it was the
same
Easy money, and faithless women
Red-eyed whiskey
For
the pain
Go down the hill Dalton
It must be God's will
Two brothers lying there
In coffee will
Two voices call to
each to where they stood
Lay down your lay books now
They're no
damn good
Keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton
Kill your shadow,
set you free
If you're fast and if you're lucky
You will never,
see that hanging through
Well, the towns lay across the dusty
plains
Like graveyards filled with tombstones
Waiting for the
names
And a man can use, ever used his brains
With some that
just went crazy lord
Cause nothing ever changed
Till then
Doolin let his Dalton
He was working cheap, just about a dime
And then he left and said I'm going
So he left that peaceful
life behind

Twenty-One
Written by:Bernie Leadon
Twenty-one, and strong as I can be
I know what freedom
means to me
And I can give a reason why
I should ever wanna die
Got no car, be afraid
Oh, be a life can ever be
Cause ever
watch the rising sun
I know that we have just begun
I might
spend my life on the road
Just trying to add what I know
And
some day I might settle down
Then all my friends would be around
They say a man should have a starting trade
But me, I find
another way
I believe in getting what you can
And there ain't no
starting that can be
Cause I'm young fast as I can be
I know
what freedom means to me
And I can give a reason why
I should
ever want to die
Yeah and I can give a reason why
I should ever
want to die

Out Of Control
Written by:Frey/Henley/Nexon
Oh I don't try no baby
Stars all shining down
All I
can do, all night outing
Is hide all around
And I ain't had a
woman in so long
I got to free my hurting soul
Come on, come on
faster
Or I'm gonna get a little out of control
Then a car came
in one corner
Then a boy raised a smile at me
Well, I gave her a
silver dollar
She won't be any free
Oh she ain't dollar a free
no
And the gambler got a hold
Come on and sit a little, a god
damn friends
And I think I'm getting out of control
She's a
good one
One course
I got new, fine time gone
Well, if
anybody's looking for trouble
You know I'm a funky wanna cry
Well, find one man who'll want me
And I don't care who or why
You got to ganble on your story
You got to get, get on more
And I'll get some more, I'm getting a hold
Think I'm getting out
of control

Tequila Sunrise
Written by:Frey/Henley
It's another tequila sunrise
Staring slowly across the
sky
Said goodbye
He was just ahired hand
Working on the
dreams he planned to try
The days go by
Every night when the
sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out
running round
She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't
keep from coming on
It's been so long
Boy and it's a hollow
feeling
When it comes down to dealing friends
It never ends
Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the drivers never
come
You're just getting up
It's another tequila sunrise
this old world still looks the same,
Another friend

Desperado
Written by:Frey/Henley
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been
out riding fences
For so long now
Oh you're a hard one
And I
know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you some how
Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds
boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Another Queen of Heats is
always your best bet
Now seems to me some fine things
Have been
laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can get
Desperado, you ain't getting up young
You're painting you're
hunger
They're driving you on
And freedom, oh freedom
Well,
that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this
world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the
night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
And funny how the feeling goes
Desperado, why don't you come
to your senses
Come down from your fences
Open the gate,It may
be rainin'
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let
somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's
too late

Certain Kind of Fool
Written by:Frey/Henley/Meisner
He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
He kinda had
a craving for something no one else could see
They say that he was
crazy
The kind that no lady should meet
He went up to the city
And wandered around in the streets
He wants to dance
Oh
yeah, he wants to sing
Oh yeah, he wants to see the lights a
flashing
Listen to the thundering
He saw it in a window
Marked up a new kind of man
He kindda liked the feeling
So
shiny and smooth in his hand
He took it to the country
And
practiced for days without rest
And then one day he felt it
He
knew he could stand with the best
They got me smashed
Oh yeah,
he wants the same
Oh yeah, it's a certain kind of fool
That
likes to hear the sound of his own
A poster on a store front
Picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation
Preaty lot far
through the land
It wasn't for the money
At least, it didn't
star t that way
It wasn't for the running
But now he's running
everyday

Outlaw Man
Written by:Blue
I am an outlaw
I was born an outlaw son
Highway is
my land to see
and on the highway I will run
In one hand I have
a bible
In another I got a gun
Don' you know me
I'm the man
who won
*
Woman don't try love me
Don't try to
understand
A life upon the road
Is life of an outlaw man
Just left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Lived in
Oklahoma
I was riding night and day
All of my friends are
strangers
They quickly come and go
And all my lives are in
danger
Cause I steal hearts and souls
(* Repeat
twice)
Some me call me Abel
Some men call me Cain
Some men call me silly law
Some men call me sam
Some man
never teased me
Some men said the rain
When you got no life to
lose
You got nothing left to gain
Outlaw man
Outlaw man

Saturday Night
Written by:Frey/Henley/Leadon/Meisner
Seems like a dream, it was so long ago
The moon burned
so bright and the time went so slow
And I swore that I love her
I gave her a ring
Blue bird was high on the way
*
Whatever happened
To Saturday night
Find me a sweetheart
Holding her tight
She's a really downy
Was I alright
Whatever happened
To Saturday night
Years brought the
railroad
It ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passed the time
At another
man's side
And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangle
every week
Go round with circle
Some one show me how to tell
The dancer from the dance
(* Repeat)
Choosing
a friend
Loosing a fight
She said, "Tell me, oh, tell me, are
you alright?"
(* Repeat twice)

Bitter Creek
Written by:Leadon
Once I was young
So unsure
I try to find the cure
An old man told me
Tryied to scold me
So don't wade to deep
In bitter creek
Way out where the desert meets the sky
where I go and I wanna hide
Oh, peyote
She tried to show me
You know there ain't no cause to weep
IN bitter creek
Gonna hit the road
One last time
We can walk right in
Sealed blind
All that money
No more running
I can't wait
to see the old man's face
When I win the race

Doolin-Dalton/Desperado Reprise
Written by:Browne/Frey/Henley/Souther
Well, the stage was set,the sun was sinkin' low down
as they came to town to face another showdown.
The lawmen cleared the people from the streets,
"All you bloodthirsty bystanders, will you try to find your seats?"
Watch 'em duelin', Doolin-Dalton,
high or low, it's all the same.
Easy money and faithless women,
you will never kill the pain.
Go down, Bill Doolin' don't you wonder why
sooner or later we all have to die?
Sooner or later, that's a stonecold fact,
four men ride out and only three ride back
