A Cat In The Rain released literally on thr day I got admitted into thr hospital as a stroke patient. You guys are amazing, loved you for years and this albim certainly don't disappoint! ❤
If you know what this song is about these lyrics hit hard. I think we can all agree we missed Evan and especially happy, healthy, married Evan. Such sad lyrics but such a fantastic outcome. Long live turnpike.
I discovered TT a year ago, and needless to say, I have been awaiting this release with great expectation. Evan is a fantastic lyricist. While I do like the live version Evan performed before, with a finger picking style, this is amazing.
With a midnight sky and your big brown eyes Did you stumble on a pearl? Wake me from a thousand meter stare With a halo hanging just a little too heavy and another evening's curls Mixed up in the morning and your hair Like a country girl who came across a cat out in the rain Like a country girl you played it true to form Gonna lay a little pity on a prodigal son who parted with his name A little shelter for a stray out in a storm You can try to put the past behind It's on your clothes like burning pine Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean In the simple solitary joy of temporary comfort Well I closed my eyes and felt I'd slept a hundred thousand years Awaking I would disregard the terms of my surrender Took every bad fork in the road and look who's standing here We were victims of eternal love for almost half a morning Said I know you can't go home again, but tell me where you land Oh here's to yet another chance you get to be reborn And here's to greener, higher hills to make your final stand You can try to put the past behind It's on your clothes like burning pine Is it gin or turpentine, you keep in your canteen? If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean For a walking ghost, that southern coast was a lawless piece of heaven There were bayou dives and oyster knives and liquor for to drown In the Q beam lights and rooster fights and months I don't remember My winning hand went busted, and my luck was winding down In the southeast Texas setting sun I sat surveying damaged done We wish you luck and fortune hun, we're closing in an hour Backed up to the trinity with no more road to run No longer can I wander all alone on my own power And try to put the past behind Perhaps it's only in your mind They close the doors at nine at General Market 17 If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean Tejanos curse in Spanish and a cajun eyes the weather There's black mud on the belly of the yellow colt I ride Never thought I'd catch myself so calm out in the open As a gulf storm deals in bucket loads And hits from every side
This song reminds me of working the old ag fields in Chambers County fresh out of college when I hadn't learned who I wanted to be yet. Working all day in the summer sun and mud, then walking from my cheap motel to Tia's and the liquor store in the evenings. That whole area has a different vibe.
Stillwater Yellow House true Oklahoma men singing from the heart! Ranks with the Outlaws of Country -- Waylon, Willie, George, Merle, Johnny Pay heck, David Allen Coe! Drop the mic!
I think he has surpassed them and many of the best poets ever. Glad someone else sees the poetic beauty here .its feels like home and I can relate to most every word.
I've been saying that Evan is one of the best song writers I've ever known of. But I was wrong. He is clearly the best song writer thats ever bin or that ill ever hear sing in my lifetime. This song is genuine genius. True brilliance. Right to the last word of the last line poetic beauty that stands with Dylan, Springsteen or any other of the grates. Evan you stand tall and this song stands at the top of pines my friend.
"If pressure makes a diamond babe, I still might come out clean". Didn't realize how much I needed to hear that line till I did. Classic Turnpike
I really think this is my favorite record they have done. My favorite song will always be “The Birdhunters”, but this whole album is unbelievable.
I feel the same way! Bird Hunters is number one. This album is solid
Best song of the album for sure, classic Turnpike sound
I don't know, "The Rut" is pretty good lol

Phenomenal. I only wish that it had another verse
I swear they just got an unbeatable sound

I love this song so much
Haven’t had this excitement about new music in years. It feels good. Thanks turnpike!
instant Turnpike classic
I just found these guys on the final episode of Yellowstone. This is good country music
Damn this is my favorite song in this album. Love the hemmingway reference
"Tejanos curse in spanish" 😂 yes we do Evan!!!!
VIVA LOS TROUBADOURS, CABRONES... AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!!❤
Blows One thing at a Time out of the water. Album of the year!!!
I agree 1000% but these guys don't play "bro country" you know I met a girl on a dirt road and in a small town and all that BS
I really hope they release a version of just him and his guitar!
My nephew turned me onto you guys. He right. Y’all are fantastic. Love and be good to yourself.
God this is such a good tune
Loved TT since the old days.. love yo seem them still cranking em out
Already bought my tickets for one of their shows in December! Love me some Turnpike.
This is the song from every TT album that at first is like " that song is a good one" that turns into a f'ng banger.
Tejanos curse in Spanish and a Cajun eyes the weather- Best lyrics of the whole album!
It's bittersweet, since it's awesome but it means the song is just about over.
Great song!
Incredible
New album is finally released!!! Welcome back boys!!!
Too good

Wish these guys would do a show in Arizona. I've seen Whiskey Meyers a couple times. Now its their time!!
With a midnight sky and your big brown eyes
Did you stumble on a pearl?
Wake me from a thousand meter stare
With a halo hanging just a little too heavy and another evening's curls
Mixed up in the morning and your hair
Like a country girl who came across a cat out in the rain
Like a country girl you played it true to form
Gonna lay a little pity on a prodigal son who parted with his name
A little shelter for a stray out in a storm
You can try to put the past behind
It's on your clothes like burning pine
Is it gin or turpentine you keep in your canteen
If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean
In the simple solitary joy of temporary comfort
Well I closed my eyes and felt I'd slept a hundred thousand years
Awaking I would disregard the terms of my surrender
Took every bad fork in the road and look who's standing here
We were victims of eternal love for almost half a morning
Said I know you can't go home again, but tell me where you land
Oh here's to yet another chance you get to be reborn
And here's to greener, higher hills to make your final stand
You can try to put the past behind
It's on your clothes like burning pine
Is it gin or turpentine, you keep in your canteen?
If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean
For a walking ghost, that southern coast was a lawless piece of heaven
There were bayou dives and oyster knives and liquor for to drown
In the Q beam lights and rooster fights and months I don't remember
My winning hand went busted, and my luck was winding down
In the southeast Texas setting sun I sat surveying damaged done
We wish you luck and fortune hun, we're closing in an hour
Backed up to the trinity with no more road to run
No longer can I wander all alone on my own power
And try to put the past behind
Perhaps it's only in your mind
They close the doors at nine at General Market 17
If pressure makes a diamond babe I still might come out clean
Tejanos curse in Spanish and a cajun eyes the weather
There's black mud on the belly of the yellow colt I ride
Never thought I'd catch myself so calm out in the open
As a gulf storm deals in bucket loads
And hits from every side
You should teach writing classes or let some no goods write with ya, sometime, again...lol...lyb
One correction. It's not "General Market 17," it's "Channel Marker 17." It's a bar and grill in Anahuac, TX
Finally an album worth buying ❤❤❤

Im shallow, was already a fan but when I learned Zach was a super fan of Turnpike... now Im listening to the whole discography lol shallow
Hell yeah
Turnpike, bringing back Texas Country. 👍
Damn near perfection 👌
The comeback kids. ❤
Stillwater Yellow House true Oklahoma men singing from the heart! Ranks with the Outlaws of Country -- Waylon, Willie, George, Merle, Johnny Pay heck, David Allen Coe! Drop the mic!
Great to hear classic songwriting ,class production. And one of the best outfits anywhere around 🍾
Packs a punch
Ending on the tonic note... classy
❤
These lyrics are just incredible. In a different era Felker could have surpassed Frost or Whitman as a poet
I think he has surpassed them and many of the best poets ever. Glad someone else sees the poetic beauty here .its feels like home and I can relate to most every word.

He is truly an artist. The way he tells a story and paints a mental image is masterful.
