Never issued as a single, it appeared on their second album of the same name in 1973, and numerous compilation albums since then.
Although the song conjures images of the old west, it was recorded in London. However, its debut was on a concert tour of the American west.
The song was first written by Don Henley in Texas and later brought to Laurel Canyon where Glenn Frey contributed to it. It was one of the first Henley-Frey songs, and the impetus for the album, Desperado.
This song is named on the “Top 100 Western Songs of All Time” by the Western Writer’s Association.
