Man With A Mission Lyrics


I see these women at the car wash; women at the mall
Little-bitty women, and women who are tall
One of them is perfect and I want her for myself
And I'm never gonna settle for anybody else
All my good buddies try to fix me up-
Buddy, I've had enoughI'm gonna run a few red lights; grind a few gears
Start a few fist fights; drink a few beeers
Even though I'm tryin' every trick in the book
You gimme drop dead (drop dead), drop dead looks
You the finest woman that I've ever seen
Why you want to be so mean?Well, everybody tries to tell me
There's nothing I can do
But I'm a man with a mission
Baby, you know it's youWell I'm a man with a mission
Man with a mission
Man with a mission
Baby, you know it's you-it's youEverybody runnin' 'round here
Sayin', Where's the party? Where's the party?

Sonny-boy, don't ask me, 'cause I don't know
I got somethin' else on my mind today- somewhere else to goWell-a, well-a, well-a everybody tries to tell me
There's nothin' I can do
But I'm a man with a mission
Baby, you know it's you

Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
