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.
A human heart goes out tonight
Yes a red hot love on a red stop light
I see a scene so cold it echoes in blue
Oh those twisting tongues there are after you
Wop bop a lu bop, son you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Oh what a story dreams to buy
Don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane
When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Yes a Russian roulette no fun
I don't need a gun
I just need someone
I don't need a gun
Blood red lights a domination street yeah
And I just need your love and to feel that heat yeah
Or you can drive me through
That red stop light
With a whiplash smile
Wop bop a lu bop, yeah you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Oh what a story, gone too far
Don't need a knife to violate my life
And I'm not insane
I said, when the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Russian roulette no fun
You don't need a gun
Yeah, I just need someone
I won't need a gun oh yeah
You will always be crying yeah
Oh you will always be dying
Oh you will always be dying
Elvis I'll fight the dying light
Johnnie Ray he's always crying
Gene Vincent, he cried, "Who slapped John?"
Yessuh me, I'm movin', movin', movin', movin' on
Yeah to be someone
I don't need a gun
I don't need a gun
I don't need a gun
(You will always be crying)
(Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry)
Yes a red hot love on a red stop light
I see a scene so cold it echoes in blue
Oh those twisting tongues there are after you
Wop bop a lu bop, son you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Oh what a story dreams to buy
Don't need a knife to violate my life
It's all so insane
When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Yes a Russian roulette no fun
I don't need a gun
I just need someone
I don't need a gun
Blood red lights a domination street yeah
And I just need your love and to feel that heat yeah
Or you can drive me through
That red stop light
With a whiplash smile
Wop bop a lu bop, yeah you gotta move up
Flip flop fly
Lawdy Miss Clawdy
Oh what a story, gone too far
Don't need a knife to violate my life
And I'm not insane
I said, when the other man has none
You don't need a gun

Yeah, I just need someone
I won't need a gun oh yeah
You will always be crying yeah
Oh you will always be dying
Oh you will always be dying

Yeah to be someone
I don't need a gun
I don't need a gun
I don't need a gun
(You will always be crying)

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Killing yourself with drugs/oding?
I have to give a resounding yes, his message is pretty clear. 'You don't need drugs to be someone.' or rather feel like someone.
