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.
Roll the clocks and be with me.
Our hearts won't race forever.
Now its time to be.
I sold you these words and I gave you my heart.
It's yours.
Because hunny if yours stops, then mine stops and everything else stops.
You better stop wasting your time around my dreams.
And baby if you stay, well then I'll stay and everything else stays the same.
You better quit playing around with our dreams.
Don't lose yourself in dreams where you can run away from me.
You're not protected from these arms of jealousy.
I am jealousy.
The more you run the more speed that you give me.
Wherever your heart is that's where mine will be.
Because hunny if yours stops, then mine stops and everything else stops.
You better stop wasting your time around my dreams.
And baby if you stay, well then I'll stay and everything else stays the same.
You better quit playing around with our dreams.
Don't lose yourself in dreams where you can run away from me.
You're not protected from these arms of jealousy.
I am jealousy.
Because if yours stops, then mine stops, and everything else stops.
And if you stay well then I'll stay and everything else stays.
Our hearts won't race forever.
Now its time to be.
I sold you these words and I gave you my heart.
It's yours.
Because hunny if yours stops, then mine stops and everything else stops.
You better stop wasting your time around my dreams.
And baby if you stay, well then I'll stay and everything else stays the same.
You better quit playing around with our dreams.
Don't lose yourself in dreams where you can run away from me.
You're not protected from these arms of jealousy.
I am jealousy.
The more you run the more speed that you give me.
Wherever your heart is that's where mine will be.
Because hunny if yours stops, then mine stops and everything else stops.
You better stop wasting your time around my dreams.
And baby if you stay, well then I'll stay and everything else stays the same.
You better quit playing around with our dreams.
Don't lose yourself in dreams where you can run away from me.
You're not protected from these arms of jealousy.
I am jealousy.
Because if yours stops, then mine stops, and everything else stops.
And if you stay well then I'll stay and everything else stays.

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
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.
This song PERFECTLY matches my female situation now. I mean even with the title, which is what originally drew me to this song. AMAZING
