Listen to us cover a song the Mountain Goats refuse to play for moral reasons. Although it depicts an abusive type of relationship, it's got a vibe like no other and hopefully none of you want to be like the narrator in this song.

lyrics

The most remarkable thing about coming home to you,
Is the feeling of being in motion again,
It's the most extraordinary thing in the world.
I have two big hands,
And a heart pumping blood,
And a 1967 Colt .45
With a busted safety catch.

The world shines,
As I cross the Macon county line,
Going to Georgia.

The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you,
And that you are standing in the doorway,
And you smile as you ease the gun from my hand.
I am frozen with joy right where I stand.

The world throws its light underneath your hair.
40 miles from Atlanta, this is nowhere.
Going to Georgia.

The world shines,
As I cross the Macon county line,
Going to Georgia.
