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.
Its time to face it come on in
and join the party
Life has been waiting
for you to care
don't try to fake it jump on in
and get it started there's so much lovin
for you to share
there is nowhere to run
there is noway to hide
don't let it beat you
Say " nice to meet you" and "bye"
And once you dig in
you'll find it coming
out the other side
And once you dig in
you'll find you'll
have yourself a good time
wake up and shake it
you didn't make
your contribution
there ain't no time
for you to spare
If you ain't part of the game
then how can you find a solution
Nobody said that it would be fair
When the mountian is high
Just look up to the sky
Ask god to teach you
then presevere
with a smile
yeah, yeah, yeah
And once you dig in
you'll find it coming
out the other side
and once you dig in
you'll find you'll
have yourself a good time
and once you dig in
you'll find it comin out the other side
and once you dig in
you'll find you'll have
yourself a good time
And once you dig in
you'll find it coming
out the other side

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.
Mountain Song

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."
In my opinion it's about having a more proactive attitude towards life in general or some aspects of it, not that I'm feeling as a good example in this. My favorite line of the song is "If you ain't part of the game then how can you find a solution".
