When growing up
When growing up
Kids stranger than others
Kids stranger than others
Would get together to play games
Would get together to play games
That no one else would
That no one else would
For all their time
For all their time
Together they figured
Together they figured
New ways to relate to each other
New ways to relate to each other
For French was no good
For French was no good
It was just that time of season
It was just that time of season
Summer vacation with our head in red sand
Summer vacation with our head in red sand
La la la la
La la la la
And it was just for that reason
And it was just for that reason
When you were laying around
When you were laying around
And laying with someone
And laying with someone
Who maybe said something
And then more than
They said that they knew
Who was asking the questions
Who maybe said something
And then more than
They said that they knew
Who was asking the questions
All the book leads to face but a difference Those thousand...
All the book leads to face but a difference Those thousand but each different got a Secret of your blood And under the flame It drifted together Unseen by their partners Who showed them that They may feel it Oh babe this is the right thing
It was just that time of season Mushroom vacations with our hands in red sand
And it was just for that reason When we lay together We asked the questions That made more than issue (?) So happy to To be together
Answering questions with smiles Giving questions as answers
La la la la
I love this song and it is so Texas/Oklahoma that it hurts. I first heard the Ray Wylie version and after listening to each of them many times I prefer Ray Wylie's as his band's music reflects the content of the song better IMHO. But few can write songs like this and McMurtry is one of the few.

My only contribution is the "memorized weakness" bit is when you're preparing for a job interview and you get ready to answer the (dumb) question "What is your biggest weakness?"

Yeah right on lighthumor it's a warning to remain guarded, stoic, watch who you believe, who you trust and how much of what you share as there are 2 of each of us the person we like to think we are and portray and the person others perceive us to be from the outside looking in. Great song live the line and how true "some days there's things on your mind you should keep" especially in the times we now live most having lost the art or never learned the art of engaging our fellow human. It actually has vast...

Great song live the line and how true "some days there's things on your mind you should keep" especially in the times we now live most having lost the art or never learned the art of engaging our fellow human. It actually has vast consequences as most would not comprehend how f2f conversation keeps people in their proper fighting weight level and we are less inclined to be abusive , lie or mislead others when we are looking them in the eye. Everyone is an over confident keyboard warrior same with the protected minorities who despise being talked down to or rude offensive gutter mouths yet their confidence is wrongly inflated they think they can be that person to the majorities it seems more hate speech coming from the minorities up stream than down. Rarely are the outlandish persons extreme in their presentation and speech true representations of the groups they tend to speak for it's premeditated propaganda and manipulation by higher ups often who don't give a rats for the real cause or minority it's much deeper and evil. Watch out for the skin deep guys...spent many years chasing pretty girls only to be hurt and disappointed. Eventually I would turn them down claiming you will never be as good as your are in my mind and imagination so rather keep those fonder memories and thoughts...lol
I see many have different interpretations of this song. I personally think it's a knock on judgmental Christian who is borderline narcissistic. We all know that kind of person who casts judgment on others for trivial things but is completely unaware of their own transgressions against others. Maynard has a very long discography about blinded faith, con-artist Christians and especially drug addiction. 13th Step is undoubtedly about the struggles of drug addiction and the ineffective 12 Step program that has a 90% failure rate. The 13th Step is very commonly known to NA members as "the relapse".

"So glad to...
"So glad to see you well Overcome and completely silent now With heavens help you cast your demons out" This is the nod to the person's wrongdoings being forgiven by the church, how all atrocities are washed away by a priest waving their hand and proclaiming 3 hail Mary's!
"And not to pull your halo down Around your neck and tug you off your cloud But I'm more than just a little curious How you're planning to go about making your amends To the dead To the dead" This is alluding that even though you where forgiven by a church it's obvious you can't be forgiven for some atrocities and penance can't absolve your sin.
"Recall the deeds as if they're all Someone else's atrocious stories Now you stand reborn before us all So glad to see you well" The typical blinded Christian/Catholic and the hint of narcissism. They recall their own atrocities as someone else's transgressions but you stand reborn before us all, the baptism/church forgiveness wiping it all away like it never happened.
I know Maynard has a interview where he explained the true meaning of "the outsider" song which he said was from the point of view of a blind arrogant older brother who never knew addiction that was angry at his younger brother that was struggling with chemical addiction and that brother simply couldn't understand his struggle and how hard addiction is.
The interview is Maynard audio voice recording talking about the meaning of that song. But the others talking about 13th Step being about drug addiction are absolutely right. To many songs have numerous obvious references to drug addiction. The package is talking about waiting for your drug package and how self-centered you become on said drugs, weak and powerless literally says "China White"(Pure Heroin) in it and "Jam another Dragon down the hole", Gravity says "force another nail down another meaty hole, please release me, I choose to live", the nurse who loves me is literally about dating a female nurse to get access to opioid pills and pharmacy keys lol, Blue is about a girl overdosing and him standing there watching her die, and there are many other songs in his discography like H, and entire album called Opiate, or on Undertow talking about hitting bottom on drugs and how powerful the high is "Euphoria" (You-For-Ee-Ah)
pete wrote this from patricks persepctive, patrick even says so in an interview. he also says that he feels as if he wrote it himself, as pete knows him so well. I think that pete also wrote this to tell patrick something - in his hidden lyrical language. I think, personally, he's telling him that he won't leave - as in killing himself or something in a way. pete tried to kill himself once, and he even left the band at one point, because of the leak, and he was so devastated and depressed, patrick had to convince him...
