老鹰乐队（Eagles ）在美国音乐史上具有承先启后的作用，其歌唱风格影响了乡村音乐的发展，九○年代之后Garth Brooks、Tim McGraw、Restless Heart等巨星或团体无不受老鹰乐队的启发；老鹰乐队也被视为加州摇滚的代表团体之一。《Wasted Time》选自专辑《Hell Freezes Over》，完全代表了老鹰的风格。“秋天的风让你想起了第一天的感觉，你一点也不爱这个男孩……”
Wasted Time Eagles
Well baby, there you stand, With your little head, down in your hand
Oh, my God, you can't believe it's happening again
Your baby's gone, and you're all alone
And it looks like the end, And you're back out on the street
And you're trying to remember, How will you start it over
You don't know what became, You don't care much for a stranger's touch
But you can't hold your man You never thought
You'd be alone this far down the line, And I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time
The autumn leaves have got you thinking about the first time that you fell
You didn't love the boy too much, no, no,You just loved the boy to well
Farewell, So you live from day to day, And you dream about tomorrow
oh,And the hours go by like minutes, And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something, To make them go away
And I could have done so many things, baby, If I could only stop my mind
From worrying what I left behind, And from worrying about theirs wasted time
Ooh, another love has come and gone, Ooh, and the years keep rushing on
I remeber what you told me before you went out on your own
Sometimes to keep it together, we got to leave it alone
So you can get on with your search,baby
And I can get on with mine, And maybe someday we will find ,
That it wasn't really wasted time
Mm,hm, Oh hoo, ooh, ohh, Ooh,ooh, mm
