Silver Eagle

(album: The Boys From Doraville - 1980)

Fire up the silver eagle
Follow that big demand
Take us to where we are going
Hurry it up if you can

How long
Have we been gone

Riding up front with the driver
Keeping each other awake
Laughing and talking and thinking
Staring off into space

How many Holiday Inns
And overnight friends
But we keep on moving
Searching for a ravel in the noose

Carry me
Carry me
Silver eagle
Let me hear
Those mighty diesels drone
Fire it up
Let it whine
Follow the long white line
Silver eagle
Carry on

How many Holiday Inns
And overnight friends
But we keep on moving
Searching for a ravel in the noose

Carry me
Carry me
Silver eagle
Let me hear
Those mighty diesels drone
Fire it up
Let it whine
Follow the long white line
Silver eagle
Roll on

Silver eagle
Carry on

(Roll on and on and on)
