when the white oak leaves are rustling ‘round the courtyard
tell the cook to leave the kitchen window down
just don’t lock it from inside, I might still need a place to hide
when I turn to face the horses and the hounds
sister says to come on back for Christmas
mama’s wondering why I never come around
lord I’ve been running for so long I just can’t find a way back home
so I’ll turn to face the horses and the hounds
(chorus)
you might hear some gears a’grinding
‘fore I can get this rig turned back around
and head back down the highway winding
back towards the horses and the hounds
I thought I’d found a love to last me
’til she opted for that candy coated clown
I didn’t even make a show I just walked on and let’em go
still I’m running from the horses and the hounds
(chorus)
on the Trail’s Inn Motel sign rides a warrior
with his horse run out and his lance a’pointed down
that’s as far as he’s gonna get, he surely knows what’s coming next
he’s just waiting on the horses and the hounds
(chorus)
and I bet they hear it halfway back to town
when I turn to face the horses
the horses and the hounds

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer

Wonderful... some of Hiatt's best songs are here. I've been a fan since Riding with the King. This is gloriously played, too. What a band. anthonytoner

Just a warm, easy listen. The love for the songs is apparent. Takes me back to days spent working on my car in the driveway in SoCal. Hope they do another one cause I'm gonna wear this on out. Aloha beauishere
