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 would do anything
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
Until you pull through
I'd hold on to you
'Til the stars no longer wink
I'd hold on to you
'Til you figure out
Just what to think
'Cause
[Chorus]
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
I would go anywhere
To meet up with you
That's just about anywhere
For one rendezvous
I'd hold on to you
'Til the mountains crumble flat
I'd hold on to you
Until you figure out
Just where you're at
'Cause
[Chorus]
I would do anything
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
That you want me to
I'd hold on to you
Until you take it all in stride
I'd hold on to you
'Til you want to stay here
By my side
'Cause
[Chorus: x2]
(You're emotion in motion)
Emotion in motion
You're emotion in motion
To me
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
Until you pull through
I'd hold on to you
'Til the stars no longer wink
I'd hold on to you
'Til you figure out
Just what to think
'Cause
[Chorus]
You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
I would go anywhere
To meet up with you
That's just about anywhere
For one rendezvous
I'd hold on to you
'Til the mountains crumble flat
I'd hold on to you
Until you figure out
Just where you're at
'Cause
[Chorus]
I would do anything
To hold on to you
That's just about anything
That you want me to
I'd hold on to you
Until you take it all in stride
I'd hold on to you
'Til you want to stay here
By my side
'Cause
[Chorus: x2]
(You're emotion in motion)
Emotion in motion
You're emotion in motion
To me

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fast Car

"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.
I'm pretty sure that @SugarFreeShelia and @mindhuntress are correct. The music is too uplifting for my following theory. If you look at the lyrics it could readily be someone proclaiming their love for someone who is dying. There is nothing the singer wouldn't do if he thought it would make her better.
