What the hell is a Wrinkle Neck Mule? A sophomoric phallic reference? Too easy. A pack animal used in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico to transport opium to America in the early 1900s? History channel worthy, but wrong. A band of five (or four, depending on the wind) from Richmond, Virginia carrying indie-rockish country music about the land? Eureka. Daily double.
Born somewhere on I-64 between Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia in late 1999

GCG Well the roof blew off the club in Oklahoma City, fireman said, "the show can't go on"
GD7G So we spent another night somewhere in New Mexico drinkin' till all our money was gone
GCG We had a day to kill so climbed up a mountain, walked straight down the other side
GD7G Picked up a hitchhiker on the way back to Taos, he said, "Thank you boys for the ride"
- Chorus - A GCG If I could separate what's real, from what I've been dreamin', I could live to fight another day
GD7G If I'd a listen to my mom who said, "Don't be believin' everything them writers say"
GCG There's no line at the door and only thirty people bothered to advance pay
GD7G If I could separate what's real, from what I've been dreamin', I could live to fight another day
- Bridge Solo - 1
- Verse 2
We'd packed everything and we set it all up to play three songs on a radio show
But you never can tell if anyone's listenin' and I guess it don't kill us what we don't know
So we play 'em just the same, and we tell 'em our name, and where to find us on the computer screen
When we're packin' it up is hear Stu on the phone sayin',"Baby I'm livin' the dream..."
- Chorus - B
If I could separate what's real, from what I've been dreamin', I could live to fight another day
If I'd a listen to my ma 'en she said, "Don't be believin' everything them writers say"
There's no line at the door and only twenty people bothered to advance pay
If I could separate what's real, from what I've been dreamin', I could live to fight another day
- Bridge Solo - 2
- Verse 3
We got to sell ten T-shirts and twenty CDs to get from Stevenville to Houston town
Well there's people there who care a little 'bout me and you know they won't let the poor boy down
It's Five Twenty Nine Central Daylight Time when the five of us come stollin' in
With smiles all around 'cause in Seventy Six hour till we have to be leavin' again
- Chorus - C (Key change - Up one full step)
