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 feel like hell, you feel like dancing,
You know this bar curtains a world.
Those empty bottles, like sentinels,
Stand guard in the morning sun.
Then the lights go down
And all the people gather round
And you feel you are a skeleton jar
Oh yeah.
Be like the brother I never had,
Be like a real son to my dad.
How can you stand there and watch this
Scene, I hate you for liking me.
Why am I so miserable if these are the best
Years of my life goes like a train I just
Missed out on being part of the community
'don't go just stay with me' were all that
They heard from me.
Love me don't leave me just stay with me
Don't leave me I've never known another
Who could just please me the way that you
Please me don't go just stay with don't go
Just stay with were all that they heard
From me.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
everyones asking why we cante get enough if its supposed to be the best time of ur life
