Hotel California

Don Henley - Glenn Frey - Don Felder

On a dark desert highway cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up that candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year) you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted she got the Mercedes-Benz
She got a lot of pretty pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember some dance to forget

So I called up the captain please bring me my wine
He said we haven't had that spirit here since 1969
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place) such a lovely face
They're living up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling the pink champagne on ice
And she said we are all just prisoners here of our own device
And in the master's chambers they gathered for the feast
They stabbed it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before
Relax said the nightman we are programmed to receive
You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave

New Kid In Town

Don Henley - Glenn Frey - John D. Souther

© Blackwood Music, BMI / April Music, ASCAP

There's talk on the street it sounds so familiar
Great expectations everybody's watching you
People you meet they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new

Johnny come lately the new kid in town
Everybody loves you so don't let them down

You look in her eyes the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics here we go again
But after a while you're looking the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend

Oh Johnny come lately the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you're not around
[ guitar ]
There's so many things you should have told her
But night after night you're willing to hold her
Just hold her tears on your shoulder

There's talk on the street it's there to remind you
Doesn't really matter which side you're on
You're walkin' away and they're talkin' behind you
They will never forget you till somebody new comes along

Where've you been lately there's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him don't they now he's holding her and you're still around
There's a new kid in town just another new kid in town
Everybody's talkin' bout the new kid in town
Everybody's walkin' like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town there's a new kid in town
There's a new kid in town everybody's talkin'
There's a new kid in town everybody's walkin'
There's a new kid in town there's a new kid in town

Life In The Fast Lane

Don Henley - Glenn Frey - Joe Walsh

© Cass County Music, BMI / Red Cloud Music, BMI / Wow And Flutter Music, ASCAP

He was a hard headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold cold city

He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless they said he was crude
They had one thing in common they were good in bed
She'd say faster faster the lights are turnin' red

(Life in the fast lane) surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane)
Are you with me so far

Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction the drop of a name
They knew all the right people they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties they paid heavily bills

There were lines on the mirror lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evening until it was light
He was too tired to make it she was too tired to fight about it

(Life in the fast lane) surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) are you with me so far
(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time
(Life in the fast lane)
[ guitar ]
Blowin' and burnin' blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign took a turn for the worst
She said listen baby you can hear the engine ring
We've been up and down this highway haven't seen a god-dam thing

He said call the doctor I think I'm gonna crash
The doctor says he's coming but you gotta pay him cast
They went rushin' down that freeway messed around and got lost
They didn't know they were just dying to get off

And it was (life in the fast lane)...

Wasted Time

Don Henley - Glenn Frey

© Cass County Music, BMI / Red Cloud Music, BMI

Well baby there you stand with your little head down in your hand
Oh my God you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end
And you're back out on the street and you're trying to remember
How do you start it over you don't know if you can
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man
You never thought you'd be alone this far down the line
And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

The autumn leaves have got you thinkin' about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much no no you just loved the boy too well
So you live from day to day and you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay
So you take a little somethin' to make them go away
I could have done so many things baby if I could only stop my mind
From wond'rin' what I left behind
And from worryin' bout this wasted time

Ooh another love has come and gone
Ooh and the years keep rushin' on
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone
So you can get on with your search baby and I can get on with mine
And maybe someday we will find
That it wasn't really wasted time
Uh huh ooh

Victim Of Love

Don Henley - Glenn Frey - John D. Souther - Don Felder

© Red Cloud Music, BMI

What kind of love have you got
You should be home but you're not
A room full of noise and dangerous boys
Still make you thirsty and hot

I heard about you and that man
There's just one thing I don't understand
You say he's a liar and he put out your fire
How come you still got his gun in your hand

Victim of love I see a broken heart
You got your stories to tell
Victim of love it's such an easy part
And you know how to play it so well

Some people never come clean
I think you know what I mean
You're walkin' the wire pain and desire
Looking for love in between

Tell me your secrets I'll tell you mine
This ain't no time to be cool
And tell all your girlfriends you been around the world friends
That talk is for losers and fools

Victim of love I see a broken heart
I could be wrong but I'm not no I'm not
Victim of love we're not so far apart
Show me what kind of love that you've got
[ guitar ]
Victim of love you're just a victim of love
I could be wrong but I'm not
Victim of love now you're a victim of love
What kind of love that you've got

Victim of love you're just a victim of love...

What kind of love that you've got
What kind of love that you've got

Pretty Maids All In A Row

Joe Walsh - Joey Vitale

© Mentally Incompetent Music, BMI / Wow And Flutter Music, ASCAP

Hi there how are ya it's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way
My but we learn so slow
And heroes they come and they go
And leave us behind as if we're supposed to know why

Why do we give up our hearts to the past
And why must we grow up so fast
[ guitar ]
And all you wishin' well fools with your fortunes
Someone should send you a rose
With love from a friend it's nice to here from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember places to go
Pretty maids all in a row
[ strings - piano ]

Try And Love Again

Randy Meisner

© Nebraska Music, ASCAP

When you're out there on your own
Where your memories can find you
Like a circle goes around you were lost until you found out
What it all comes down to
One by one the lonely feelings come
Day by day they slowly fade away

Ooh the look was in her eyes
You never know what might be found there
She was dancing right in time and the looks she made so fine
Like the music that surrounds her
Should I stay or go I really wanna know
Would I loose or win if I try and love again

Ooh gonna try and love again
Ooh try and love again
Ooh gonna try and love
[ guitar ]
Right or wrong what's done is done
it's only moments that you borrow
But the thoughts will linger on of the lady and her song
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Well it might take years to see through all these tears
Don't let go when you find it you will know

Ooh gonna try and love again...

Last Resort

Don Henley - Glenn Frey

© Cass County Music, BMI / Red Cloud Music, BMI

She came from Providence the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place people were smiling
Spoke about the red man's ways how they loved the land
They came from everywhere to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars out for a good time
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
They called it paradise I don't know why
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high

When the chilly winds blew down across the desert
Through the canyons of the coast to the malibus
Where the pretty people played hungry for power
To light their neon ways give 'em things to do

Some rich man came and raped the land nobody caught him
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus people bought them
They called it paradise the place to be
They watched the hazy sun sinkin' in the sea

You can leave it all behind sail to Lahaina
Like the missionaries did so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign Jesus is comin'
Brought the white man's burden down brought the white man's reign

And we'll provide the grand design what is yours and what is mine
There is no more new frontier we have got to make it here
We satisfied our endless needs and justified our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise I don't know why
You call someplace paradise kiss it goodbye
