[Verse 1]
Now, where you going?
Now, what's the rush?
You listen here
No, you just hush
I know what you think
That man don't know anything
But I've been around a while
I know what's happening
Everybody want to check you out
Everybody want to be your friend
And all this pressure
Where do I fit in?
They don't know nothing you don't know
Ain't got nothing you ain't got
But you keep on running, you keep on running with the

[Chorus]
Fast company[x2]
You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast
Fast company[x2]
You're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
Now it's alright
To have some fun
This is your turn
Your life has just begun
You're racing out the door
Don't have very much to say
Your motor's running hot
You can't wait to get away
Looking up the road ahead
You can't see very far
Remember where you come from
Remember who you are
Be careful what you say
Be careful who you trust
This world is beautiful
This world is dangerous

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Talk to me and help me try to remember
How it feels to be so in doubt
Turn to me and help me try to remember
That raging fire that the years put out

[Chorus][x3]

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”.
