Lyrics The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band

Fly Like An Eagle

I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat

Down to New Orleans

Gotta pocket full o'money and a liquor bottle

Gonna drink away my dreams

Don't really wanna leave

Sure I can't stay

I'm gonna get on that riverboat

And gamble my life away

Makes me fly like an eagle

Higher and higher every day

Cause in my mind and in my dreams

I can't get her away

Gonna sit down at the poker table

Five card stud's my game

Gonna try and forget that crazy woman

Gonna try and forget her name

I don't know how I'll make it

But I'll forget her some way

This is the time and the only time

She ain't gonna get away
