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 see that you mean it
I see that you are serious
Have some faith in me
Like there used to be
Come Sunday I'll be leaving (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x2)
Time
Time was that you would understand
No matter what you would believe in
That was years ago
Time's a thief you know
I never meant to be deceiving you
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x4)
Where's the tenderness
Where's that girl I miss
Where's the sweetness that would send me flying
Bring her back to me
A grain of apathy
This life is yours
There's no denying (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x12)
I see that you are serious
Have some faith in me
Like there used to be
Come Sunday I'll be leaving (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x2)
Time
Time was that you would understand
No matter what you would believe in
That was years ago
Time's a thief you know
I never meant to be deceiving you
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x4)
Where's the tenderness
Where's that girl I miss
Where's the sweetness that would send me flying
Bring her back to me
A grain of apathy
This life is yours
There's no denying (yeah)
What do you want me to say (x2)
Absolutely anytime, What do you want me to say (x4)
Time (x12)

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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.
Seen these guys a few times live, and they are so awesome. And they are cool to their fans. After the shows(Pubs, and small clubs) they hang with the fans. "Where's the tenderness Where's that girl I miss Where's the sweetness that would send me flying Bring her back to me A grain of apathy This life is yours There's no denying (yeah) "
I LOVE THAT PART
