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.

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.

I think that in the song there was a guy that was found dead. People are suspecting that his wife (The girl) is the one that killed him. Basically I think this song is an interrogation. "My girl, my girl tell me where you did you sleep last night?" - Asking her where she slept. "Her husband was a hardworking man just about a mile from here. His head was found in the driveway but his body never was found." - This lyric is the main reason why I think this song is an interrogation.
