    Correct version: "They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay."
    I thought it was 'Tell you right' as well!!

    Whenever I listened to Those Shoes, I presumed that the line "In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama" was "In the middle of the tall drinks and the drummer". Wonder where my head was at...

    And I'm gonna put on my blinkers and pretend that it is "heavenly bills".


    you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
    you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--

    Lol, Troubadour!

    According to my "The Best Of Eagles" songbook, published by Warner Music Group, 1981, it is "heavenly bills" - it would make a lot more sense.

    Hurrah! "Heavenly bills" is all I ever presumed it was. "Heavily bills" is just... odd.

    Neither word works but to me he's singing 'heavily' and I have just looked at my Hotel California sheet music book which lists the word as 'heavily'.

    What are the words that start out the last verse? Right before "blinded by thirst"

    I always thought it was "Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst..."
