Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I've been turning inside
Out all night long,
What's up?
I'm down.
Turn this whole night around.
Living good,
Hesitate.
Place the bet,
Compensate.
Be my play,
Devastate.
Congregate and elevate.
Take your eyes off my pride,
Let it slide,
Redivide,
Multiply,
Chose your side,
It gon' be no lady pie,
Feeling good,
Looking great,
Underwater overway,
Smell my finger,
Pull my tongue,
Sugar coated candy plum.
Try to talk easy,
But doesn't matter what I say,
No words come out, you better watch your mouth cuz',
I've tried to make my way,
While other fools try to compensate,
With words expressing how they feel,
It's in my water with coils of blood,
How many people have I "sweared" I loved?
How many hurdles have I had to jump?
How many lives have I touched?
How many tries have I fucked you up, to try to get what I want?
Don't waste your time to tell me how you feel.
Let your feeling out the door,
Blindfold what's in store,
Never met me before,
Docking parts will hit the floor,
I can give you what you want,
Churn the ghetto,
Burn the pop,
Light it up,
Let it burn,
Get in line and wait your turn.
Watch the show,
Let it run,
Hold your breath,
Bite your tongue,
Cup a feel,
Grab a lie,
See it home, by your wife.
Try to talk easy,
But doesn't matter what I say,
No words come out, you better watch your mouth cuz',
I've tried to make my way,
While other fools try to compensate,
With words expressing how they feel,
It's in my water with coils of blood,
How many people have I "sweared" I loved?
How many hurdles have I had to jump?
How many lives have I touched?
How many tries have I fucked you up, to try to get what I want?
Don't waste your time to tell me how you feel.
There's your brain,
You're insane,
Who is Lane?
What is Spain?
In this game, who's got shame?
Who shows pain and why so vain?
Grab the train,
Steal the lane,
Buy some stile,
Rent a smile,
Show some skin,
Start to sin,
Stop the spin and start to win.
Try to talk easy,
But doesn't matter what I say,
No words come out, you better watch your mouth cuz',
I've tried to make my way,
While other fools try to compensate,
With words expressing how they feel,
It's in my water with coils of blood,
How many people have I "sweared" I loved?
How many hurdles have I had to jump?
How many lives have I touched?

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I believe the song is about a guy who is struggling in life. So this other guy comes up and tells the first guy how he feels. So he tells the guy not to waste his time talking about his feelings. Then he (the first guy, lets call him Jeff) tells him about how he is struggling in life and "How many times has(Jeff) quote, Fued Sh up to try to get what i want". so, thats what i think its about
