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.
Let's go now, it's open season
Going through these life changes
Gotta keep my feet moving
I'm looking up at the sky
Gotta keep my eyes open
Gonna keep my mind racing
I keep on trying to fly
We almost died
Learning how to survive the fast life
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Let's go!
Yeah, we always try to stand up to the lies
We said we'll never give up 'til we die
And try to help our friends, we learn to live again
We'll never say it's over 'til the end
We almost died
Learning how to survive the fast life
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Don't you know that life changes?
You know that love changes
The pain, it rearranges
Best friends become strangers
Don't you know that life changes?
You know that love changes
The pain, it rearranges
Best friends become strangers
So you get up and shake it off
Smile at everyone you meet
Put your best foot forward, chip on your shoulder
It's like you can't be beat
It's like we can't be beat
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together
It's a long way down, can't turn back now
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Whoa, whoa, going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Going through these life changes
Gotta keep my feet moving

Gotta keep my eyes open
Gonna keep my mind racing
I keep on trying to fly
We almost died
Learning how to survive the fast life
You know they say that nothing lasts forever
You know they said we'd never stay together

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.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

@[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.
wooooooooooooo you guys write a lot its good
