I traveled forty miles of back wood
Running from the county man
Just broke from the Stone County Prison
And I'm never goin' back again

Gonna make my way from Stone County
Try to catch the Santa Fe
I can hear her whistle callin' me
Just a half a mile away

I left my home down in Texas
Seven long years ago
I remember my mom on my daddy's arm
Sittin' in the back of lawn

I'm gonna run till I die from Stone County
Gotta catch the Santa Fe
I can hear her whistle callin' me
About a half a mile away

I'm a Stone County wanted man
I'm a Stone County wanted man

Well, I'm a wanted man, now in Texas
Even down Mexico way
Ya know they want me in Stone County Prison
But Lord, they'll never see that day

I'm gonna make my way from Stone County
Try to catch the Santa Fe
Oh, I can hear her whistle callin' me
About a half a mile away

I'm a Stone County wanted man
I'm a Stone County wanted man
I'm a Stone County wanted man
I'm a Stone County wanted man

Stone county wanted man
I got a money, I gotta money
And I'm a Stone County, Stone County
Stone County wanted man

I'm wanted man, I'm wanted man
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
A Stone County, a Stone County

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
