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

Intro:
GDCG
GDCG You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk
GDCG There were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk
GDGC The moon was high, your smooth face was dry and the
G kudzu.... grew
CHORUS:
GDG and the stars fell on alabama
DG and your eyes filled up with lightning
DGCGDG and the stars fell on alaba- ma
GDCG The warm earth underneath us gave way
DCG dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay
D cold clean water nearby
GC glimmered in your eyes
GD and your pistol (glistened)
GDG and the stars fell on alabama
DG and your eyes filled up with lightning
DGC and the stars fell on alaba- ma
GDG but if you think I'll take a bullet for you, you're dreaming!
