[Verse 1]
We get up early and we work all day
We put our time in because we like to stay up

[Chorus]
All night long

[Verse 2]
We keep on grinning until the weekend comes
Just a pinch between your cheek and gum

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 3]
Start in the morning and get the job done
Take care of business and we have some fun

[Chorus][x2]

[Verse 4]
We like a long neck and a good old song
Turn it up and then we sing along, sing along
We're all staying up

[Chorus][x5]

one of the most popular and successful bands of all time. Originating in Los Angeles in 1971, its founding members were Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. They saw the coming and going of various members, including Frey who passed away in 2016.

Eagles were a success from the start. Their eponymous debut album, Eagles (1972), saw three singles enter the Top 40: “Take It Easy”, “Witchy Woman”, and “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, reaching respective peaks of 12, 9, and 22.

At this point, however, the Eagles were just getting started. Their second album, Desperado (1973), featured two of their most popular songs of all “Tequila Sunrise” and title track “Desperado”. Additionally, the other songs were critically acclaimed for other reasons, such as Leadon’s performance on “Saturday Night”. You’d be wrong if you thought the Eagles were settling down after back-to-back triumphs. Their next album, On the Border (1974), had on it their first “Best of My Love”.
