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.
Danger
Somebody's near
They don't want you
To know or to hear
Keep you silent
So you disappear
Teach you fear
So you forget yourself
Danger
Watch what you say
Don't look at them
In the wrong way
They want you stupid
So you obey
Learn to hate
So you forget yourself
Never forget yourself
Close your eyes and
You will really see
All that you are handed
Comes from a thief
Take not what they feed
Their poison is sweet
Danger
Somebody's near
Somebody's near
They don't want you
To know or to hear
Keep you silent
So you disappear
Teach you fear
So you forget yourself
Danger
Watch what you say
Don't look at them
In the wrong way
They want you stupid
So you obey
Learn to hate
So you forget yourself
Never forget yourself
Close your eyes and
You will really see
All that you are handed
Comes from a thief
Take not what they feed
Their poison is sweet
Danger
Somebody's near

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
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.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
