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.
I don't care what you do
I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
Don't want a thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I, I, I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I should've thought things through
I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster
I don't care what you do
I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
Don't want to thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I should've thought things through
Yeah, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster
I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
Don't want a thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I, I, I'm getting out
No, nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I should've thought things through
I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm holding out
But not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster
I don't care what you do
I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
Don't want to thing from you
I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I should've thought things through
Yeah, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I want to do right by you
I'm finding out that
Cheating gets it faster
I, I, I'm getting out
No nothing ever shames me
I, I, I'm going out
I don't care if you're angry
I, I, I'm holding out
Not getting an answer
I, I, I'm finding out
Cheating gets it faster

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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."
He wants to know where they stand - he's asking her, but not getting an answer. He wants to be with her and do right by her, but she won't commit. He's tired of waiting for her to decide, so cheating on her gets him the answer faster, presumably because she'll break up with him. Decision made. You snooze, you lose.
