You had what you had until the horses took it
You knew what you were and you couldn't stand it
You loved your country enough to support it

But nothing ever made you complete
No, nothing ever made you complete
Golden Eagle

You respected the sport and you could afford it
A hundred hobbies you have outlived
Your mother, she called bullshit and you ignored it

But nothing ever made you complete
No, nothing ever made you complete
No, nothing ever made you complete
Golden Eagle

Golden Eagle

You had what you had until the horses took it
But on a second glance you kn-n-now you did it
You killed a man and you wrote a book on birds, but still

Nothing ever made you complete
No, nothing ever made you complete
No, nothing ever made you complete
Golden Eagle
