Foi composta em parceria por Jackson Browne e Glenn Frey, este último assumindo a voz principal na versão dos Eagles.
Foi lançada em 1º de maio de 1972 e alcançou a 12ª posição na parada Billboard Hot 100 em 22 de julho do mesmo ano.
Inclui-se na lista das 500 Canções que Modelaram o Rock and Roll, selecionada pelo The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Jackson Browne gravou a música como faixa-título do seu segundo álbum, For Everyman, em 1973, embora sua versão não tenha entrado nas paradas musicais.
O videoclipe da cover de Travis Tritt, feita para o álbum tributo de 1993, marcou o primeiro encontro dos cinco membros dos Eagles após 13 anos da separação, culminando na reunião da banda.
A canção foi a faixa de abertura do álbum de estreia de mesmo nome e é considerada uma das músicas assinatura da banda, aparecendo em todos os seus álbuns ao vivo e de compilações.
