This is an "outside-loaner-folk-rock-psychedelic-singer-songwriter track" from the early 1970's. It was meant to be the the title track for one of Chet's first albums, "Time Loop". But due to some shuffling of songs that was insisted upon by the record company as to what songs they wanted to be the final tracks, "Horses and Eagles", was pulled in favor of the more, "singles style", song, ("Spinning On The) Time Loop". So, this song was meant to be added to the second album, "Waving Prairie". "Horses and Eagles" is a fun song with a serious, whimsical story line with some serious, almost "free verse", exaggerated lyrics of a ..."love-affair", with an not-to-be satisfied, 1960's anarchist girl friend ... gone bad. What fun, eh?

I bought my girl a brand new car
But she said thanks, but no thanks
She didn’t want a Cadillac
She wanted 20 German tanks
To this I didn’t know what I should say
So, I got her 20 horses and a silver sleigh
She climbed in side and bravely gathered up the reins
She drove those horses till they had all lost their brains
To this I didn’t know what I should do
So I bought her a blonde eagle
With a vest of blue
She rode that eagle everyday
Till the feather left it’s wings
He lost his hair his vest of blue
And now he never sings
To this I didn’t know what I should say
So, I got her 40 horses and a golden sleigh’
She left me yesterday
I gave you everything
I gave you everything
I gave you everything
