Lyrics Eagles - Rory Block
I
been
beaten,
I
been
robbed,
I
been
left
for
dead
I′ve
walked
the
streets
alone
With
no
place
to
lay
my
head
I
been
a
million
miles,
seen
the
state
of
the
world
A
mighty
long
journey
for
a
lonely
girl
I
ain't
nobody′s
child
I
make
nobody
happy
Got
no
friends,
family
No
one
ever
did
want
me
Since
the
day
I
was
born
I
been
makin'
my
way
But
I've
always
knew
there′d
be
another
day
I′ve
always
knew
that
a
time
would
come
Said
I've
always
knew
that
a
time
would
come
Just
seekin′
a
place
to
call
my
own
A
resting
place
I
call
home
That
I
call
home
Oohh,
oohh,
mm,
mm
My
parents
did
not
want
me
They
were
just
too
young
Their
lives
and
dreams
were
callin'
Takin′
care
of
number
one
So
I
grabbed
a
guitar
Touched
the
stainless
steel
Never
put
it
down
'Cause
of
the
way
it
made
me
feel
Now
I′m
a
singer
Of
the
roots
of
country
blues
You
could
say
I
love
music
You
could
say
I
paid
my
dues
Immersed
in
guitar
I
had
no
other
choice
Inspired
by
the
beauty
of
a
honest
voice
Another
chance
would
come
(Another
day
would
come)
I
said
I
always
knew
another
time
would
come
Seekin'
a
place
to
call
my
own
A
resting
place
that
I
call
home
Alright
Open
up
the
window
'Cause
there′s
a
freedom
in
the
air
Strains
of
gospel
singers
Leave
this
world
of
care
Swing
low,
reach
high,
let
the
music
go
Songs
for
the
ages,
survived
from
the
soul
I
always
knew
another
time
would
come
I
said
I
always
knew
another
time,
another
chance
To
get
it
right
Seekin′
a
place
to
call
my
own
A
resting
place
that
I
call
home
