Well...

Four that wanna own me. Two that wanna stone me.
One says she's a friend of mine.

None of those sound like the type of relationship he's looking for

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy.

even after this girl he admits that he's lookin for a lover. maybe it's about a guy who can't recognize that he needs to slow down on this kind of thing, make a little time for himself to rest and grow and, just for a while....

First verse and chorus was written by Jackson Brown, the rest by Glenn Frey. So I'm guessing Jackson had seven women, and Glenn just the one.

No conclusions can be drawn.

First verse mentions "women" so that rules out Don Henley as he prefered "girls"

Lookin' for a lover Who won't blow my cover She's so hard to find.

Are you implying the woman in Winslow AZ is a beard? Or MtF? Or perhaps this is a sudden realization of a preference for female anatomy with male social behaviors?

Always took it to mean he has a wife and is looking for lovers who won’t ruin his marriage. Maybe I just know too many people who’ve been womanizers that this scenario is my assumption

He has to make sure she ain't a snitch.

It's a girl, My lord, In a flatbed Ford...

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I always thought it would mean it's a woman that is willing to sneak around in hats and sunglasses and hide from the paparazzi, instead of being an attention whore

Maybe 7 is enough?

He wants one that won't abscond with the Polaroids

Recently learned it's actually "Eagles", not "The Eagles". (For example, take a look at the album covers. There are also documentaries in which they talk about it.)
But even the band themselves will use "the" when it grammatically makes sense. So confusing.

As Sherlock Holmes said in A Study In Scarlet...

“Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it.”

Yet another area where Phish were ahead of the game.

Maybe he's ethically non-monogamous.
