The Mountain Goats é o projeto musical do canto/compositor e guitarrista John Darnielle. A revista The New Yorker referiu a ele como "Melhor compositor não-hip-hop da América". No artigo de junho de 2006, revista Paste nominou Darnielle um dos "100 melhores compositores ao vivo". As letras de Darnielle são literais e repletas com imaginário com referências da literatura clássica, religião e mitologia, cultura pop, arte, e história. Outros possuem vagas referências ao seu padrasto

Ok, so I'm a moron and I butchered this tab the first time I did it. This is a far more accurate tab for the song. Sorry.

EmG The king of the jungle CEm Was asleep in his car EmG When your chances fall in your lap like that DCB You've gotta recognize them for what they really are EmG Nobody in this house CEm Wants to own up to the truth EmG I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth DCB And grab hold of one long sharp tooth EmAEm And hold on B For dear life EmAEmB I hold on
EmG Well of course he wakes up CEm His paw hits the horn EmG I am gonna regret DCB The day that I was born EmG And then mom rushes out to the driveway CEm My sister too EmG Everyone's screaming DCB I am dreaming of you EmAEm I hold on B For dear life EmAEmB I hold on
CEm And my arms get sore CEm And my palms start to sweat CEm And the tears roll down my face CB Till my cheeks are hot and red and soaking wet
EmG In come the cops CEm They blowtorch the doors EmG I start wailing DCB The lion roars EmG There's no good way to end this CEm Anyone can see EmG There's this great big you DCB And little old me EmAEm And we hold on B For dear life EmAEm We hold on B We hold on
