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.
Stevie left on a Friday too
They made the easy way look hard
We never thought too much about letting go
They took it all too far again
My first days back and I was rolling round the town
Saying stay away from edges and from ropes if you can
'Cause I am the last one...
And the curse stops here
The curse stops here
Ghosts dont drag you towards their light
They make it brighter here for you
Seeing Stevie helped me through from over there
But will his friend now help him out?
My first days back and I was rolling round the town
Saying stay away from edges and from ropes if you can
My friends said I was saying it, too many times
Leave the gallow humour for the gallow people that it finds
'Cause I am the last one...
And the curse stops here
The curse stops here
They made the easy way look hard
We never thought too much about letting go
They took it all too far again
My first days back and I was rolling round the town
Saying stay away from edges and from ropes if you can
'Cause I am the last one...
And the curse stops here
The curse stops here
Ghosts dont drag you towards their light
They make it brighter here for you
Seeing Stevie helped me through from over there
But will his friend now help him out?
My first days back and I was rolling round the town
Saying stay away from edges and from ropes if you can
My friends said I was saying it, too many times
Leave the gallow humour for the gallow people that it finds
'Cause I am the last one...
And the curse stops here
The curse stops here

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
he wrote this song about the other 2 founding members of the band who both passed away. He talks about how he is thel last one and how there deaths effected him.
