This is a request from someone at Mayo Clinic. It's a song by the American rock band, the Eagles and was based on a song Henley originally wrote about a friend named Leo. The original began with "Leo, my God, why don't you come to your senses..." Eventually this song was written together with Henley inspired by Ray Charles, Stephen Foster and the Southern Gothic style. They just made it a bit more Western. This was the start of Frey and Henley's songwriting partnership. I hope you enjoy it.
