1348 – Eagles – Certain kind of fool (1973)


Escrita por Randy Meisner, Don Henley e Glenn Frey, foi gravada em 1973 e lançada em 17 de abril de 1973 no disco Desperado. Fala da história de um menino pobre que queria ser famoso através da sua arte, mas acabou ficando famoso sendo um bandido procurado.


A letra:


He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
He kinda had a cravin' for somethin' no one else could see
They say that he was crazy
The kind that no lady should meet

He ran out to the city and wandered around in the street
He wants to dance, oh yeah
He wants to sing, oh yeah
He wants to see the lights a flashin' and listen

To the thundering

He saw it in a window
The mark of a new kind of man
He kinda liked the feeling, so shiny and smooth in his hand
He took it to the country and practiced for days without rest

And then one day he felt it

He knew he could stand with the best
They got respect, oh yeah
He wants the same, oh yeah
And it's a certain kind of fool that
Likes to hear the sound of his own name

Oo...

A poster on a storefront, the picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation spreading like fire through the land
It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way
It wasn't for the runnin', but now he's runnin' every day.
