Already Gone Lyrics

Well, I heard some people talking just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
Well, let me tell you I've got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
Coz I'm al-ready gone, and I'm fee-ling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this my girl when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right
And I'm-al-ready gone, and I'm fee-eeling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
That we never even know we have the key
Me, I'm Already Gone, and I'm feeling strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, coz I'm already gone
Coz I'm al-ready gone, and I'm fee-eling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, coz I'm al-ready gone
Yes, I'm already gone, already gone (awright, nighty night)
Already gone, already gone

Already Gone

This is one of the few Eagles songs not written by any member of the band. It was written by the songwriters Jack Tempchin and Robb Strandlund, who were friends of the Eagles. Tempchin also wrote "Peaceful Easy Feeling," which appeared on the first Eagles album.

Tempchin sent this to Glenn Frey to pitch it as an Eagles song. Frey had just come off of a relationship, so the lyrics about getting over a breakup were probably meaningful to him. (thanks, Bill - Johnstown, PA)

Frey sang lead on this. The song features twin guitar solos by Frey and Don Felder , who was new to the band. The Eagles also used twin guitar solos on "Hotel California."

This was one of the first songs the Eagles recorded with producer Bill Szymczyk. Their previous albums, and some of On The Border, were recorded in London with the venerable British producer Glyn Johns. Recording with a new producer at nearby Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles was a huge relief for Glenn Frey, who didn't get on with Johns. "I was much more comfortable in the studio with Bill, and he was more than willing to let everyone stretch a bit," he said. "'Already Gone' - that's me being happier; that's me being free."
