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.
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
You always said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away
At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man,
And men can do terrible things."
Yes, they can
But there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam but he always got caught
Man, that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool?
But there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should
And no one's gonna tear me down
But there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
Where I used to sit all alone in the dark
And dream about things that I cannot say
You always said destiny would blow me away
And nothing's gonna blow me away
At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me to play in the sand
And said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man,
And men can do terrible things."
Yes, they can
But there was never any place
For someone like me to be totally happy
I'm running out of clock and that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change
At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought

Man, that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool?

Some things never do change

Where I used to think that this life would be good
And I would do things that I thought that I should

Some things never do change
Never do change

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.
i just saw SoCo live for the second time, and they are amazing! The lyrics in this song are completely true to me. somethings never do change. and at the beginnign when he says, "At Cavanaugh Park Where you used to take me To play in the sand and said to me, "Son, one day you'll be a man. "And men can do terrible things." Yes they can that kills me, it makes me cry every time!
