In The Eagles song "Take It Easy" the first verse states he has 7 women on his mind, later he is admiring a girl in Winslow, Arizona...maybe another girl isn't what this guy needs.

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?

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

Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like are proudly announcing what an absolute scumbag the author is

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

It’s a girl, My lord, In a flatbed Ford…

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

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”

Oof. Was not aware of that.

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.

Yet another area where Phish were ahead of the game.

Maybe he’s ethically non-monogamous.

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
