tonight, the mountain goats

easily among the most memorable shows i've ever been to, and i suspect tonight will join the other three times. whenever you see someone play, you always half-hope that they'll play THAT song. i don't yell out requests at shows, partly because that never works, but mostly because i don't yell.

these three words, i screamed at the top of my lungs:

going to georgia

the most remarkable thing about coming home to you is the feeling of being in motion again
it's the most extraordinary thing in the world
i have two big hands and a heart pumping blood and a 1967 colt .45 with a busted safety catch
the world shines as i cross the macon county line
going to georgia

the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it's you
and that you're standing in the doorway
and you smile as you ease the gun from my hand and i'm frozen with joy right where i stand
the world throws its light underneath your hair
forty miles from atlanta, this is nowhere
going to georgia

the world shines as i cross the macon county line
going to georgia

I already have chills.
