Fire Down Below (1997)
IMDB rating: 4.30
Plot: EPA agent Jack Taggart is Stunned to hear from his boss Phil Pratt that his best friend and fellow agent Frank Elkins has been found dead in Kentucky after Frank’s truck plunged into a river. The Kentucky State Police believes that it was an accident, but the EPA believes it was no accident. It all began with an anonymous letter from the small town of Jackson, Kentucky. Frank was sent to Jackson to investigate what the letter described as some kind of pollution that is causing fish to die and causing people to get sick enough to die. Frank sent back water and soil samples that all tested off the charts for toxic substances. After Frank discovered that the Hanner Coal Company, owned by Orin Hanner Sr., is being paid to dump toxic waste into an abandoned coal mine shaft, Frank ended up dead. Jack is assigned to go to Jackson, where his contact will be Reverend Bob Goodall, who runs a church in Jackson. After arriving in Jackson, Jack finds out that he’ll be staying in a room in the church’s basement, and as Jack’s contact, of course Bob knows that Jack will be going undercover as a carpenter. Jack begins by repairing the roof at a house where he meets Henry Carr, his wife, and his kids Edie, Alberta, Christine, and Walter. Walter is sick because of the pollution. That night, Hanner’s son Orin Hanner Jr., also known as Junior, spies on the church along with corrupt Sheriff Lloyd, who is on Hanner’s payroll. On the next day, when Jack goes into downtown Jackson, he meets Betsy Hamill and her twin sister Patsy Hamill. Jack then walks down the street and introduces himself to Cotton Harry. Then Jack takes some water samples. At church on Sunday, Bob introduces Jack to everyone, and tells everyone that Jack is a carpenter. During lunchtime at the church, Jack introduces himself to Sarah Kellogg, a local outcast who is a beekeeper. Sarah has a brother named Earl. Jack goes to Sarah’s house and offers to repair the steps on her front porch. Over time, Jack comes to believe that something is bothering Sarah, and it’s something dark. Jack wants to save her from whatever it is, while trying to bring Hanner and his crew down.

Does anyone one know the meaning of this George Strait song?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6KqzmZF6 Dg
George Strait "Easy As You Go"
he saw her after school, sippin on a coke
acted like a fool, crackin crazy jokes
she turned his motor on, man his heart was gone
fire down below, easy as you go
easy as you go, steady as you fly
keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
turn it on a dime, man you never know
take a little time, whoa easy as you go
graduation night, out behind the stands
in the fading light, he became a man
she discovered love better be enough
cause baby’s gonna grow, easy as you go
easy as you go, steady as you fly
keep it in the road, keep an eagle eye
turn it on a dime, man you never know
take a little time, whoa easy as you go
judgemental frowns, teacher’s lookin down
parents all ashamed, passin out the blame
they got a little room, service station view
the rents too high, pays to low whoa
easy as you go
there aint nothing like a daughter or a son
to make a mama old and keep a daddy young
make a body dream, and give a life a theme
take the highs and the lows whoa
easy as you go
To me it sounds like the song’s saying don’t rush into, in this case, sex. These two rushed into a relationship and now they have a baby and they can’t escape the consequences "love better be enough cause baby’s gonna grow." And now that they have this unexpected child they yearn for something more"make a body dream."
It’s like a caution: don’t rush into anything "easy as you go," be vigilant "keep an eagle eye," and stop quickly "turn it on a dime."
At least, that’s what it sounds like but I could be wrong.
