As those who have visited Don Felder Online (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/donfelderonline.com) know, I've transcribed what I think he's singing in the two tracks "Southern Bound (http://www.donfelderonline.com/solo/roadtoforever/southernbound.htm)" and "Can't Stop Now (http://www.donfelderonline.com/solo/roadtoforever/cantstopnow.htm)." However, there are parts where I'm pretty sure I got the lyrics wrong, especially in "Southern Bound." Now that the tracks are available for download on Amazon.com and iTunes, I figure some fans here will be downloading them.
I ask anyone who does so to check my lyrics transcription against what you hear and make any suggestions for what you think I might have wrong.
My lyrics transcription for Southern Bound (http://www.donfelderonline.com/solo/roadtoforever/southernbound.htm):
Crystal blue skies, beaches so white
Million stars hanging in the heavens each night
Lots of slow-movin' women that'll treat you so right
Long legs chillin' within easy eyesight
Kicks into your blood, winds up to your brain
Like naked ladies dancin' in warm summer rains
Time for a kiss, and a tan so brown
I think I'm finally
Southern bound
You'll be sure to find me where everybody knows
I'll be deep down in Dixie where it never, ever snows
Sunbathing now, warm waves lickin' my toes
Blowin' magic smoke rings in the magnolia grove
I can hear it calling me on a honey-suckle breeze
Lazy in a trance under moss-covered trees
Gonna back off of the throttle, slow it all down
I think I'm finally
Southern bound
I can hear it calling me on a honey-suckle breeze
Lazy in a trance under moss-covered trees
Gonna back off of the throttle, slow it all down
I think I'm finally
Southern bound
Southern bound
]Backin' back down to Dixie
Just backin' back
Southern bound
Southern bound
]My lyrics transcription for Can't Stop Now (http://www.donfelderonline.com/solo/roadtoforever/cantstopnow.htm):
I've been waiting, waiting for so long
To show you how I feel
You've been wanting, wanting to show me
Show me your love is real
Every time you get real close
You whisper in my ear
"Open up, baby; I love you the most"
But our future doesn't seem too clear
I've been lovin' you for so long
That this feeling's getting so strong
I've been lovin' you for so long
Can't stop now
I've been dreaming, dreaming 'bout you and me
Yeah, you and me - we came on this road together
You've been hoping, hoping we could finally
Yeah, finally stand on steady ground
Oh, our passion can simmer and burn
But you still just have to believe
That this is gonna turn out right
But if won't if you decide to leave
I've been lovin' you for so long
That this feeling's getting so strong
I've been lovin' you for so long
Can't stop now
I know that this dream must seem so far away
Just hold me real tight and it will come back to us someday
Yeah
I've been lovin' you for so long
That this feeling's getting so strong
I've been lovin' you for so long
Can't stop now
I've been lovin' you for so long
That this feeling's getting so strong
I've been lovin' you for so long
Can't stop now
