My eyes are aching from the weight on them
The pain of living is such a bore
To make you happy I must bend for you
But I can't take it anymore.
And all the morning birds may laugh at me
But they've got the same straight jobs to do
And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
I stumbled around with my eyes half closed
And curse the sun for being so bright
I hold you close, feel your warmth and wonder why
The river of life for you runs right.
And all the morning birds may laugh at me
But they've got the same straight jobs to do
And I can't see who is the biggest fool of all
With my eyes all scarred from a whiskey night.
My head is poundin' as I'm sittin' here
And my mind's not workin' like it should
Come on, guitar, you've got to save me
And get me back feelin' like I should.

REO Speedwagon è un gruppo musicale rock statunitense formatosi a Champaign, Illinois, alla fine degli anni '60. Il nome deriva da una vecchia diligenza americana che trasportava merci e passeggeri. La formazione originale comprendeva Kevin Cronin (voce), Neal Doughty (tastiere), Gary Richrath (chitarra), Bruce Hall (basso) e Alan Gratzer (batteria). Nel corso degli anni '70, il gruppo ha attraversato diverse fasi stilistiche, passando dal hard rock al progressive rock. Il successo è arrivato negli anni '80 con album come "Hi Infidelity" (1980) e "Can't Fight This Feeling" (1984), che hanno generato successi radiofonici come "Keep on Loving You", "Take It On the Run" e il titolo dell'album "Can't Fight This Feeling". REO Speedwagon è noto per le sue melodie orecchiabili, i testi romantici e la potente performance dal vivo. La band ha continuato a registrare e esibirsi fino al 2025, anno in cui si sono sciolti.
