The Mountain Goats are an American band formed in Claremont, California, by singer-songwriter John Darnielle. The band is currently based in Durham, North Carolina. For many years, the sole member of the Mountain Goats was Darnielle, despite the plural moniker. The Mountain Goats are, for all practical purposes, the endlessly clever and prolific John Darnielle and whatever musicians he surrounds himself with, which means that while the soundscape may change from project to project

A civilian saw me first Am And then there was the cop Em And then the children standing on the corner CB Your love is like a cyclone in a swamp Em And the weather's getting warmer
(mute strings and hit 'em)
Em I was getting out of jail
Heading to the Greyhound
You said you'd hop on one yourself
And meet me on the way down Am I was shaking way too hard to think Em Dead on my feet about to drop CB Went and got the case of vodka from a car Em And walked the two miles to the bus stop
Em AmEm CBEm
Em Got on the bus half drunk again
The driver glared at me
Met up with you in Inglis
Thumbed a ride to Cedar Key Am If we never make it back to California Em I want you to know I love you CB But my love is like a dark cloud full of rain Em That's always right there up above you
