George Jones - Silver eagle

^AWell he rides into town on the back of a big silver ^Deagle ^E7Strapped to his shoulders are the burdens of staying on ^Atop And the lines in his face tell the story of an uphill ^Dflight You can ^E7tell how he feels day by day by the songs that he ^Awrites

He's loved by millions somehow he's their prisoner as ^Dwell As he ^E7rides down the road in his ten wheeled aluminum ^Acell Now he lives for the day that the eagle will carry him ^Dhome 'Cause the ^E7glamour is over nearly all of his seeds have been ^Asown

Let him go sil^Dver eagle th^E7ere must be a better way^A to fly For this great American ^Dpoet who's ^E7singing his songs About the everyday working man's ^Alife

One night on the road just south of the Idyho ^Dline We were ^E7smoking some contracts and attempting to alter our ^Aminds Then just before daylight Hank pushed back his hat and he ^Dsaid "Ah we're ^E7puttin too much emphasis on bein' a star Can't we do a little bit of living ^Ainstead"

Let him go silv^Der eagle the^E7re must be a better way ^Ato fly For this great American ^Dpoet who's ^E7singing his songs About the everyday working man's ^Alife

Let him go sil^Dver eagle th^E7ere must be a better way^A to fly For this great American ^Dpoet who's ^E7singing his songs About the everyday working man's ^Alife
