You had what you had 
 Until the horses took it 
 You knew what you were 
 And you couldn't stand it 
 You loved your country 
 Enough to support it 
    But nothing ever made you complete 
 No, nothing ever made you complete 
 Golden Eagle   
 You respected the sport 
 And you could afford it 
 A hundred hobbies 
 You have outlived 
 Your mother, she called bullshit 
 And you ignored it   
 You had what you had 
 Until the horses took it 
 But on a second glance 
 No no no no you did it 
 You killed a man 
 And you wrote a book on birds, but still
