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.
I'm back takin' the long way when I go home at night
And your memory don't dance down the hallway when I flip on the light
I'm back spendin' time with my buddies
A little rowdy ain't hurtin' nobody
Yeah, I've come a long way gettin' over us
But now and then when your name comes up
I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
No more 2 A.M. phone calls to act like I'm checkin' in
No more runnin' the other way when I run into your friends
I don't need your touch, need your smile
Except for every little once in a while then
I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Yeah, just enough to get you gone
Grab a glass and pour one strong
And drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
And your memory don't dance down the hallway when I flip on the light
I'm back spendin' time with my buddies
A little rowdy ain't hurtin' nobody
Yeah, I've come a long way gettin' over us
But now and then when your name comes up
I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
No more 2 A.M. phone calls to act like I'm checkin' in
No more runnin' the other way when I run into your friends
I don't need your touch, need your smile
Except for every little once in a while then
I drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Yeah, just enough to get you gone
Grab a glass and pour one strong
And drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
When the wonderin' if you miss me missin' you comes around
Yeah, it don't happen like it used to happen
But when it does, I twist off a cap and
Drink a little whiskey, drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down
Drink a little whiskey down

The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
