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'm gonna pull you in close
Gonna wrap you up tight
Gonna play with the braids
That you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face
And toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
I feel like love in the kitchen
With the culinary eye
I think he's makin' something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself
For at least a minute each day
Well, you should trust in this, girl
'Cause loving is coming our way
You can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl
You'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
To break it all away
Spend it all today
Spend it all today
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you
It took time, then I found you, oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Gonna wrap you up tight
Gonna play with the braids
That you came here with tonight
I'm gonna hold your face
And toast the snow that fell
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
I feel like love in the kitchen
With the culinary eye
I think he's makin' something special
And I'm smart enough to try
If you don't trust yourself
For at least a minute each day
Well, you should trust in this, girl
'Cause loving is coming our way
You can fix me up, girl
We'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl
You'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)
If it helps me through these days (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
I'll showcase on Route 7 (take my love in these small doses)
When I find the right place (take my love in these small doses)
It takes a long time just to get this all straight (take my love in these small doses)
In my mind
This is my, my, my free time
Because friends don't waste wine
When there's words to sell
If you can fix me up, girl, we'll go a long long way
If you can fix me up, girl, you'll go a long long way
I'll stand by all this drinking (take my love in these small doses)

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
The Spy
Doors, The
Doors, The
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?
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
This song reminds me of the relationship that I have with my girlfriend especially the last line "it took time then I found you."
