Fallen Eagle

Written by Stephen Stills

Sing to the fallen eagle

Helicopters fly

Chase him 'round the mountains

Chase him 'til he dies

They say that it's good sportin'

Shootin' him on the wing

Above the roar and clatter

You can hear your rifle sing his death song

It won't be long

Sing to the western rancher

The eagle takes his lamb

He's got a thousand others

He don't give a damn

Get up with the sunrise

Everybody gather 'round

Get him with the first shot

He'll turn and bring you down down down

Crash on the ground

Sing to the noble eagle

Help is on the way

A government team of experts

Is rushin' to your aid

I know your not excited

An eagle is no waif

Fly on up to Canada

This country isn't safe anymore

That's for sure
