On the Border
1974

This cover of a Tom Waits ballad is so great.  Frey and Henley share
vocals, the piano is great, and the chorus has a wonderful hook to it.
It's really easy to play, so have fun!  A friend of mine named James
Wiebeck sent this to me a while back, and I checked it out and put it
up today.  Thanks, James!

Six in the morning
Gave me no warning
I had to be on my way

Now the cars are all passin' me
Trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headin' home from your place

And now the sun's comin up

Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
