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.
Tonight with the sea and the salty breeze
The milk from your breast is on my lips
And lovlier words from your mouth to me
And salt from my sweat and fingertips
My hands they seek the end of afternoon
My hands believe and move over you la la la
La da da la la la da dum
Tonight with the sea and the rhythm there
The waves and the wind the night is black
Tonight with the scent of your long black hair
Spread out like your breath across my back
Your hands they move like waves over me
Beneath the moon tonight near the sea La la la da da dum
La da dum
The milk from your breast is on my lips
And lovlier words from your mouth to me
And salt from my sweat and fingertips
My hands they seek the end of afternoon
My hands believe and move over you la la la
La da da la la la da dum
Tonight with the sea and the rhythm there
The waves and the wind the night is black
Tonight with the scent of your long black hair
Spread out like your breath across my back
Your hands they move like waves over me
Beneath the moon tonight near the sea La la la da da dum
La da dum

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.

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.
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.
i'm with you, this is definately not about his mother, but i'm not sure it isn't about A mother. meaning maybe about a wife with a child, but certainly not his mother. amazingly beautiful, not that anything else can be expected from sam.
