Eagles lyin' eyes3/29/2024 So she tells him she must go out for the evening To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin' She is headed for the cheatin' side of town Late at night a big old house gets lonely I guess every form of refuge has its price And it breaks her heart to think her love is only Given to a man with hands as cold as ice Johnny Rodriguez Cover - Lyin' Eyes Songwriters: Glenn Frey - Don Henley Released off album "Reflecting" in 1976Ĭity girls just seem to find out early How to open doors with just a smile A rich old man.And she won't have to worry She'll dress up all in lace and go in style Side Note: Enjoy this Johnny Rodriguez video and take note that he did some re-arranging with the lyrics but I added the lyrics as they were written by Frey and Henley. This song has one of the better story lines and could be the reason this song is over five minutes long, but well worth the listen. Top 40 Radio in 1975 didn't usually play songs longer than 4 minutes so the run-time on the 45RPM label needed to be shorter. ![]() The single version of the song is shortened quite a bit from the album version. Why The Shorter Version of This Johnny Rodriguez Cover? However, Johnny took it, put a country twist on it, and turned it into the best Johnny Rodriguez cover of this song I have ever heard. On this song it would be hard for anyone to out shine the Eagles original recording. The classic music lyrics by Frey and Henley makes "The Eagles" an easy pick as one of the premier bands of all time and the lyrics to this song are "cheatin' perfect." The producers changed the arrangement, added different instruments and bingo, same song with a distinctive new sound. ![]() ![]() The really good covers are a matter of opinion, but the covers I have added to my vinyl record memories are good enough, I believe, to change a few minds. I love doing cover songs because there are some covers that are actually better than the original artist or group.
