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.
Kickin' as I'm trying to sleep
I got the mud beneath my shoes
Rubber band, rubber band gun in hand
Gun in hand I wanna use
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
Trippin' as I'm thinkin'
About a boy, his name was Sue
He's a man, he's a man crackerman
Crackerman, he's a woman too
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin' roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think I think too much
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think I think too much
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
I got the mud beneath my shoes
Rubber band, rubber band gun in hand
Gun in hand I wanna use
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
Trippin' as I'm thinkin'
About a boy, his name was Sue
He's a man, he's a man crackerman
Crackerman, he's a woman too
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin' roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think I think too much
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think, I think too much
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care)
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away)
And I think I think too much
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinking

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

@[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.
haha same here
