About The Song
“Take It to the Limit” is a song by the Eagles from their fourth album “One of These Nights” released on November 15, 1975. It was also issued as the third single from the album and reached No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the UK charts.
The song was written mostly by Eagles members Randy Meisner, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. Meisner, who sang lead on it, says the song began as his solo composition. As it remained unfinished when time came for the album to be recorded, Henley and Frey assisted Meisner in completing it.
The song’s meaning, according to Meisner, is to keep trying before you reach a point in your life where you feel you’ve done everything and seen everything, sort of feeling, you know, part of getting old. And just to take it to the limit one more time, like every day just keep, you know, punching away at it.
Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
ll alone at the end of the evening
When the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
(Spent my life running ’round)
And it’s so hard to change
(Can’t seem to settle down)
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the sameSo put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more timeYou can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?And when you’re looking for your freedom
(Nobody seems to care)
And you can’t find the door
(Can’t find it anywhere)
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for moreSo put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
You got to
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Come on and
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more timeTake it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
One more time
