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.
So what's wrong with me, I can't sleep
Pull these bedsheets over me and let me be
With broken hearts and black and blues
I' m shivering because I wondered what you'd think
If I didn't break and made a change for you
It feels like
The first time
That I am standing on my own,
And I'm not wasted tonight, not wasted tonight
It takes a part of me, can't you see?
I'm pushing through your tidal waves, so I can breathe
With no regrets, so bittersweet
I'm holding on because I waited for your call
If you care at all, I will wait for you
Tonight I throw myself into, this blanket of relief
Where I can get release, but you can't understand
What's happening to me, and these songbirds in between
Sing anthems out to you
Pull these bedsheets over me and let me be
With broken hearts and black and blues
I' m shivering because I wondered what you'd think
If I didn't break and made a change for you
It feels like
The first time
That I am standing on my own,
And I'm not wasted tonight, not wasted tonight
It takes a part of me, can't you see?
I'm pushing through your tidal waves, so I can breathe
With no regrets, so bittersweet
I'm holding on because I waited for your call
If you care at all, I will wait for you
Tonight I throw myself into, this blanket of relief
Where I can get release, but you can't understand
What's happening to me, and these songbirds in between
Sing anthems out to you

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
