(32,084 posts)Too difficult to choose a favorite. The only song I don't care for is "Stairway to Heaven." It's right behind "Freebird" in the "overplayed to the point where I can't stand to listen to it" department.

I saw The Black Crowes & Jimmy Page play it and there was a couple holding hands, hugging. So cool.

(11,833 posts)Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Flyin' skies of fortune, each have separate ways
On the wings of maybe, downy birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to go
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go
Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be
Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, the best stuff you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would
Do the eyes not sparkle, senses goin' keen
Takes me a love for 'long the way, to see her feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to go
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul
Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'
ooooh
oh darlin'
'ey yeaaah
oh darlin'
I'm never gonna leave ya. I'm never gonna leaa-eaave ya
ten years gone
ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will rise as the cities fly by
And the tail lights dissolve in the coming of night
And the questions and thousands take flight
My love is miles in awaiting
The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock
In the secret that burns and the pain that won't stop
And it's fueled with the years
Leading me on
Leading me down the road
Driving me on
Driving me down the road
My love is exceeding and women
Red eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles
Distance and longing and my thoughts do collide
Should I rest for a while and decide
Your love is cradled in knowing
Eyes in the mirror still expecting their prey
Sensing too well when the journey is done
There is no turning back
On the run
My love is in league
With the freeway
Oh with the freeway
And the coming of the night time
My love is in league with the freeway
