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.
Everyone knows Jesus
The guy who healed the lame.
I am Jesus' brother
Craig, is my name.
Jesus is the prince of peace.
Jesus is the lamb.
Jesus is the son of god.
But Craig don't give a damn.
Because when Craig's in sight
We'll party all damn night
I don't turn water into wine, but into cold Coors light.
I'm not my brother, I know.
Don't walk on H2O
But I got hydroponic shit that me and Judas grow.
I'm fucking Craig
I'm fucking Craig
I'm fucking Craig
Craig Christ
I hang out with lepers
Barabus and Solamae
Jesus' friends are called "opossums"
Those dudes are totally gay
Jesus performs miracles
From Galilee to Rome
But it would be a miracle
If he brought a fucking lady home.
Because while Jesus is praying
Fucking Craig is laying
Every lady in the testament, you know what I'm saying
I won't die for your sin
Like my famous kin
But if you got a little sister then there's room at this inn.
I'm fucking Craig
I'm fucking Craig
Fucking Craig
Craig Christ
Jesus was our mothers fave
All her love to him she gave
But there's no sibling rivalry
When he's nailed to that tree!
And so the question for you
Is not "what would Jesus do?"
But where will you be when the Craig machine comes partying through
And if the lord will allow
You've got to ask yourself how
And who and why and when and where is my messiah now?
Its fucking Craig!
Its fucking Craig!
Fucking Craig
Fucking Craig
Craig Christ
Craig Christ
I'm Fucking Craig

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

"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.
