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.
coke machine glowin' through a parking lot.
you called it a room with a view
it was the best night of pool that i ever shot
and I made a lot of money too
looking for some company in the weekly scene
and that just had to be you
I aint seen you since new Orleans and never did figure out where you ran off to
I know I looked back last time you saw me but lately I’ve been doing alright
won a tournament last week in Oklahoma city i sold half of this town tonight
I got some cocaine if you want some
the best that i could find
figured you and me could sit here and talk all night
if that big ole guy out in the car don't mind
like old times
screw off the top on a bottle of wine
livin out our own kind of American dre-eam
like old times
your goal was always the same as mine
you didn’t want to throw a fishin line in that old main stream
i aint expecting anybody but you
i don’t know who this could be at the door
well I’m pretty sure you've got a clue
and I’ll bet you've been to this hotel before
well you put the you know what in the bathroom but
don't flush it down just yet
we'll put your pager in your suit case
and i'll get the window while you light a cigarette
it'll be like old times
just like the old times
livin out our own kind of American dream
like old times
your goal was always the same as mine
you didn't want to throw a fishing line in that old main stream
No sir, officer you don't understand we're just two old friends drinking wine
I’m sure she is but that's not all she is, she's also an old friend of mine
I got her ole high school picture right here in my wallet
from 1982
no sir officer no offense taken
you have a good night too
good thing we didn't throw this here away
baby turn up the radio
I’m sure the cop knew what we were up to i guess he just decided to let us go
oh don't make such a big deal about the picture
that was just something I kept
hey don't get all sentimental on me now girl
you haven't even told me what your new name is yet
old times
just like the old times
living out our old kind of American dream
like old times
your goal was always the same a mine
you didn't want to throw a fishin’ line in that old main street
and you didn’t
you called it a room with a view
it was the best night of pool that i ever shot
and I made a lot of money too

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
oh fucking rad thankyou
