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.
Thought I could live forever here on my own
It seemed things were so much better out here alone
A lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love
I knew I could feel more power living life without love
So I spent my days and hours looking for heaven above
The only thing that I found was my feet on the ground, so
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love
Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it
Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it, you don't mean it
Some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end
And all our lives will be recorded and replayed again
One day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love
It seemed things were so much better out here alone
A lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love
I knew I could feel more power living life without love
So I spent my days and hours looking for heaven above
The only thing that I found was my feet on the ground, so
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love
Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it
Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it, you don't mean it
Some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end
And all our lives will be recorded and replayed again
One day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now
I'm living in the moment with the friends I love

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This is Jack Johnson's fav song. If you get the live version with Jack and Mason, Jack comes out and says it. GREAT song. Pretty much sums up what everyone eventually goes through in live with careers and taking the time to just hang out with friends.
