The comments sections on RUclips videos of Mountain Goats songs give me a sense of hope for humanity's future which I haven't derived from the internet in a very long time.
Hauling peanut butter crank through Arizona Gotta keep the glowstick babies fat and happy Cactus standing taller than Goliath All the vultures come directly at me We stash it in between some bales of lumber On flatbeds coming in from Colorado I don't know what you're doing back in Memphis All winter you've been incommunicado Take a picture, do it fast For the good times For the good times That won't last Hot sun peels the paint down to the primer Overheating engine spits and whines Try to keep our minds on what we're doing Try to keep the wheels between the lines The feeling when the cop car flips its lights on The near-electric tension crackling here inside the truck The lack of any word from you in Memphis The sounds of someone running out of luck Take a picture, do it fast For the good times For the good times That won't last
this is SO good for the cop car scene where he is piecing things together as the cops r about to take them down. the "i don't know what youre doing out in memphis/all summer you've been incommunicado" and "the lack of any word from you in memphis/the sound of someone running out of luck" SO GOOD. u can really feel it
ok really love this song, but just realized the lyric is "hauling peanut butter crank..." which is a form of low purity meth, right? changes the context of the song a lot.
how? its about having nothing, and being psyched about what you have before it all comes to a screeching halt.... you hit it right, brad. unless you're trolling us. yes, its about holding precious jewels in the traditional sense of it being literal garbage. or at least it was garbage, but the memories about how bad it all sucks generates nostalgia and makes you realize how golden the bad days were. we good?
I love this guy because he's not immersed in songwriting about girls, relationships and potty potty play play time in middle school bathroom sex...sick to death of that crap.. I want something thats relevant to my place.

What would you tell that person if you could go back, and say something you wanted to say???
Matt Wisniewski same here all the shit that didn't last lead me to something greater
Ill miss you more than I think you'll ever know.
I'm sorry and you're better than them all. Let's get married and have super smart sexy babies. I missed out.
Nothing makes a day better like finding a new (probably very old) totally awesome mountain goats song.
This song reminds me primarily of smuggling crank in the desert
Makes sense
@@Cree8Ball yea, namely because the first line literally says that.
@@inspectorjavert5563 exactly what I was thinking, yeah
yep good old crank smuggling
this song reminds me of reading this comment

Hauling peanut butter crank through Arizona
Gotta keep the glowstick babies fat and happy
Cactus standing taller than Goliath
All the vultures come directly at me
We stash it in between some bales of lumber
On flatbeds coming in from Colorado
I don't know what you're doing back in Memphis
All winter you've been incommunicado
Take a picture, do it fast
For the good times
For the good times
That won't last
Hot sun peels the paint down to the primer
Overheating engine spits and whines
Try to keep our minds on what we're doing
Try to keep the wheels between the lines
The feeling when the cop car flips its lights on
The near-electric tension crackling here inside the truck
The lack of any word from you in Memphis
The sounds of someone running out of luck
Take a picture, do it fast
For the good times
For the good times
That won't last
Thank you for posting the lyrics o/
Many years later and I still don't know what "glowstick babies" means
I was depressed and wandering Portland. This song came on and when he eked out Memphis, I cried
This song brings me back like nothing else.
Hi. We both listened to this song today 10 years after it was uploaded. Hope you have a nice day.

This song still makes me so sad...... Better days.

To kill the devil, you kill the devils dog.
I fucking love this song. I fucking love this song. I should have said it sooner.
Love you guys
Jason Ryan love you and one punch ❤️
Never heard this one before. Really like it, though. Surprised by the lack of comments.
Funny reminds me of running pot by the duffle up the east coast
A mountain goats song I haven't heard?????

Brady I feel like this one takes place on the album AHWT
calling low grade meth a club drug has been the move since they invented low grade meth
Typically, "peanut butter" as a descriptor for hard drugs denotes... cómo se dice... that good good.
true
I need the chords to this song... Like now.
Theres a mountain goats tabs/chords wiki that probably has it. They have unreleased stuff even.
I lost the file... someone send it to me
youtube to mp3
I guess I should say something?
Where is everyone?
secretly here
with drugs
Have you seen any comments sections with nerdfighter fights? You'll be very sad.
Anyone know what this is off just out of interest?
why you got the same profile picture as me
Imposter!!
It's an extra track from "We shall all be healed." :)
