take it to the limit
You might expect this to be a car post, but no, instead the Eagles come out to play. While I won't cop to an extensive country guilty pleasure center, being 3rd generation SoCal, I pretty much have the Eagles in my blood. "Already Gone" was a constant companion during many a rough nights, and without them I wouldn't know about Winslow, AZ (near Flagstaff...that I do know).
I find this song to inherently be about hope. But maybe I'm just deluded. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last...remember, life is one continuous mistake.
All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
Spent my life running ’round
And it’s so hard to change
Can’t seem to settle down
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?
And when you’re looking for your freedom
Nobody seems to care
And you can’t find the door
Can’t find it anywhere
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time
