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 got these thoughts in my head
Dirty as fuckin' and never leavin'
And then best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some shit off my chest
Put on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
I got a hole in my head
The size of lake fuckin' Michigan
My pipes lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift with via alcohol
This sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a D.I.Y. lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
So take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm fucked without you
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
Dirty as fuckin' and never leavin'
And then best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some shit off my chest
Put on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
I got a hole in my head
The size of lake fuckin' Michigan
My pipes lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift with via alcohol
This sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a D.I.Y. lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
Please take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
So take these two words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm fucked without you
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
Just your time, just my fucking life
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life

@[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.
Yes. He lived by Lake Michigan when he was in Chicago. Like in the verson of 'This Could Be Love" he sings about a bunch of bodies of water by where he used to live, like a creek, Berkley Marina, and Lake Michigan. Anyways, it's just that he used to live by Lake Michigan.
