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.
Baby
Why you not home yet
Baby it's getting late
I wish you would be home by now.
Door bell rings
Who could it be at this time
Police on my left and right
My son's not coming home tonight
Baby, they don't need to show
It's over, I know, I know
Baby, they don't need to show
Flowers and football tops, I know
Baby, baby, baby, why you?
No sweeping exits
No Hollywood endings
Flowers and football tops
Don't mean a thing.
My baby is six feet under
Just another number
My daughter without her brother
Baby, they don't need to show
It's over, I know
Baby, they don't need to show
Flowers and football tops, I know
My baby is gone
(You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
I hope you noticed
How much I loved you
How could they take my sunshine away)
Why you not home yet
Baby it's getting late
I wish you would be home by now.

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.

Insanely haunting tune right here. Especially the last 2 minutes. just fucking epic. Oh and thanks everyone for telling me what it meant. I now know hat the fuck they're talking about, its even more emotional, man what a depressing, dark subject. R.I.P. whoever they're talking about. That's just awful
