The song was written by Eagles ' members Randy Meisner, Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Meisner, who sang lead on it, says the song began as his solo composition. As it remained unfinished when time came for the One of These Nights album to be recorded, Henley and Frey assisted Meisner in completing it. Meisner 's performance of the song was popular with the audience in Eagles ' concerts, but disputes over his reluctance to perform it would also directly lead to Meisner 's departure from the band.
