Jennings, Waylon - The Eagle Lyrics






Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
I've always been an Eagle, been awhile since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever, so's my Eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight, when the eagle flies

Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost
I can fly when I have to, if they turn the eagle loose

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle's in the air

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took awhile to fly that don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle's in the air
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle's in the air

    America was great before trubb and his gang of mediocre nitwits came along. now it is the laughing stock of the world

  19. A.... L....

    I think it's hilarious that you used an ex Soviet, Russian Mi-24 attack helicopter painted like a golden eagle as one of the stills in this video, at 1:27. That is all.

    YES, on Trump's and the anthem for America's Freedom.  Tell all your Waylon and Real Country Music friends to VOTE.   Socialism isn't the American way. God Save America.

  29. G.... M....

    Great work!

  30. A.... W....

    JoryLee Judd SAYS IT BEST:  "Thank you everyone for your great comments. keep them comming. as for the pothetic loosers who think they need to make comments and belittle me and my song/video and country, well you can go to hell. move out of my country and find some shitty piece of sand to move out too. 1776 founded with god and guns. god bless and god speed."Waylon sang that song with the soul and meaning for every AMERICAN who knows what this country stands for.  Hopefully 2016 Election will make this country STRONG AGAIN.    Thank you JoryLee for the amazing video and your belief in America.

  31. P.... P....

    awesome video everytime i watch it i feel an overwhelming feeling of patriotism and am glas I am an American I love my country. We may not be perfect but we are the best. We would be perfect if these foreigners not all but the ones that refuse to assemble into American society. Pack up and go back to your country or get screened by our govt and placed in a detention work camp. America was and can be awesome again. Immigrants follow the law, Speak the langauge or at least try to learn it, work towards making the country better, its not what the country can do for you but what you can do for this country, next be part of society get children into sports join a club or american legion etc, give up any radical muslim beliefs or criminal way life, finally try to incorporate this thought process " take what you need and leave the rest." The end.

  32. N.... B....

    Just an absolutely remarkable and stunning video, Jory! Thank you! I'm sharing this on facebook now!

  33. W.... S....

    great song

  34. B.... W....

    Trump plane train n platform is gonna fly with Americans and the Eagle

    B.... W....

    Yup # neverHillary

  35. R.... S....

    definitely a TRUMP anthem

    R.... S....

    Definelty not, Trump is the antithesis of America

  36. W.... ....

    The Binladen thing made me lagh so hard I woke up all of talbot county Georgia! 🐏👳 👈😅
    🚲

  37. S.... ....

    Trump would make a great presiden

  38. C.... W....

    I would rather see trump than hilary

    C.... W....

    Christian Workman this song has absolutely nothing to do with that but I agree

    C.... W....

    Why pick lesser of two evils?

  39. s.... ....

    You mean if you want America to hate again vote for trump .

    s.... ....

    What are you talking about? Trump 2016 Build the wall!

    s.... ....

    This is Waylon's tribute to the strength and greatness of America and it's people -- Pls don't demean Waylon's tribute to all of AMERICA by suggesting it's because of one or two so-called "leaders".

  40. B.... W....

  52. M.... ....

    GREAT SONG! EXCELLENT video presentation JoryLee Judd! ;-) שלום

  53. P.... C....

    Well done

  54. M.... ....

    JoryLee, I have always LOVED this song! If you had not announced that this was your first attempt at a video, no one would have known. Every now and then I visit this video and enjoy it. I also post it when I want to get the message of our great country out!

    You did a FANTASTIC job on your production! ;-) 

  55. b.... p....

    bin laden loved  islam so much that he used to give him a ride on his  motorcycle but now he is a full grown sheep

  56. s.... m....

    well done and thank you

  57. s.... d....

    Russia needs to listen to this and change some Ukrainian policy. Otherwise the Eagle will be turned loose, the feathers are already ruffled.

    s.... d....

    Ukraine was always poor country subordinate to Russia, I'm from Poland and you would agree with me, they just can't be independent (only on paper they are)

    s.... d....

    Yes and its the people of Russia the sanctions hurt. Putin is playing a cold war game against an America more powerful than the Soviet Union ever faced and Russia is not superpower the Soviet Union was militarily, but poverty ran rampant now that the Russian people start to get ahead he goes and blows it for them. I sympathize with anyone from Russia who US sanctions hurt but we had to stop Putin from annexing Ukraine if we didn't it's Soviet bloc allover again no one wants that

    s.... d....

    Obama needs to listen to this too.

  58. A.... W....

    To JoryLee Judd:
    Thanks for the neat video.  And thank you for reminding the idiots who gripe about America's power, it's the reason they can.  Thank you to every military man and woman who protect The Eagle.

    Miss Waylon, a bunch. RIP

  59. A.... M....

    how down this song f  u

  60. T.... ....

    Happy 4th Warrior Judd!

  61. J.... D....

    C'mon out now Eagle....our people seem to have forgotten about you.
    They are so busy arguing amongst each other they forget that the jackals are waiting for them to fight each other, instead of them.
    Stand strong America....we've been thru some tough times before, we'll get thru this too.
    Keep the faith !.

  62. P.... ....

    Could you please make ur next vid a little more patriotic. Wtf is this left wing bs. Geez....

    P.... ....

    PsykoToons
    🤣👍🇺🇸M.A.G.A.

  63. T.... H....

    Waylon, my favorite outlaw, sure miss your style.

  64. R.... C....

    Awsome song The Eagle by Waylon Jennings/ R.I.P.

  65. D.... E....

    GOD BLESS ALL OUR VETERANS

  66. a.... ....

    OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!

  67. W.... L....

    don't be so upset Ngai. nobody can expect you to know if your not taught. your welcome.

  68. N.... ....

    No I won't shut the hell up! Of course, Warren, you really need to watch your fuckin mouth! You don't know who you're talkin' to. You're so damned dumb you poor sod you can't even read and comprehend what I said; it makes answering you a ridiculous waste of time. Get some brains first before you joust with boy or at least get a life since you can't get an education. Waving a flag IS NOT TRUE PATRIOTISM AND NEITHER IS XENOPHOBIA. On both sides of my family my people have been here since the 1730.

  69. W.... L....

    o just shut the hell up. and nobody is "hiding" behind guns... its called aiming and it helps you hit what your shooting at. holding the pistol sideways whilst running and 'spraying' is not proper form.

  70. N.... ....

    It's a pity that all you know of American history in the 18th century is mostly mythology & not fact! When you invite Americans who don't agree with you to leave "your" country as if it isn't theirs too shows us just what kind of a pathetic ignorant nut you are. Notice the correct spelling of "PATHETIC" (that's YOU). 1776 was NOT "founded with God nor guns" whatever IGNORANCE that statement comes from! Real patriotism is quiet neither does it need to hide behind God, guns or flag! The Real Eagle

  71. t.... b....
