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.
The most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again: its the most extraordinary thing in the world.
I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line going to Georgia.
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you and that you are standing in the doorway and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.
The world throws its light underneath your hair, forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere, going to Georgia.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line going to Georgia.
I have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 Colt .45 with the busted safety catch.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line going to Georgia.
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you and that you are standing in the doorway and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand, I am frozen with joy right where I stand.
The world throws its light underneath your hair, forty miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere, going to Georgia.
The world shines as I cross the Macon county line going to Georgia.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

Worth noting that the gun makes another appearance in the verse JD drops in Aesop Rock's song "Coffee", something like 15 years later:
"1967 Colt .45, holding back the vampires, keeping me alive . . .".
The gun may have become a symbol of his own art?
