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.
Forever you're my foundation
I know I can keep
Told I was good for nothing
Branded a cheat
Now I know why you listen
I can help you anytime
Love is all there is
I wonder what you people do with your lives
Hey!
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Once more this will be forever
I can't withhold secrets
I know I'm going where the sun always shines
I know my son we've made it
It can't escape my mind
I know my star is a brighter star. brighter star
Forever be in my arms
This could be a myth in the making
Under a spell
Down to ambition
I guess you could even call it a miracle
I see my true love coming
My little bundle of joy
I can help you realise
It's us and us only
I know I'm as good as my neighbour
A starter for ten
I can't promise I will always be with you
I promise I'll always be there
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives!
When you find it, you'll feel it
I'll give you all of my love
Hold it, Don't lose it, misuse it
As long as you believe enough
My mind is multiplying
I have so much to give
I wouldn't estimate you for the way that you want to live
Forever!
I know I can keep
Told I was good for nothing
Branded a cheat
Now I know why you listen
I can help you anytime
Love is all there is
I wonder what you people do with your lives
Hey!
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives
Once more this will be forever
I can't withhold secrets
I know I'm going where the sun always shines
I know my son we've made it
It can't escape my mind
I know my star is a brighter star. brighter star
Forever be in my arms
This could be a myth in the making
Under a spell
Down to ambition
I guess you could even call it a miracle
I see my true love coming
My little bundle of joy
I can help you realise
It's us and us only
I know I'm as good as my neighbour
A starter for ten
I can't promise I will always be with you
I promise I'll always be there
Oh! I wonder what you people do with your lives!
When you find it, you'll feel it
I'll give you all of my love
Hold it, Don't lose it, misuse it
As long as you believe enough
My mind is multiplying
I have so much to give
I wouldn't estimate you for the way that you want to live
Forever!

Corpse I Fell In Love With

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.
The Spy

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?
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
