Early Tracks, 2000 (recorded 1995)
Written by Rhett Miller, Murry Hammond, Ken Bethea, and Phillip Peeples
Over a familiar Johnny Cash shuffling train-track beat, Miller lays out a broken-heart sob story: he's broken up with his girl, and he wants her back, or maybe some other girl. It's a solid alt-country rocker, covering ground that the Old 97's have well travelled, so why it wasn't included on Wreck Your Life remains a mystery. I particularly like the situation that many music lovers find themselves in of associating certain songs with pivotal moments, including heartbreak: "We put on Ray Charles and broke up / You were packed and gone when I woke up / Ray just kept on singing / He had Georgia on his mind."
