THE BEST LIVE BAND GOING Since its creation in 1998, Old No. 8 has taken its balls-out, whiskey-soaked brand of rock across America with no apologies. Mixing scorching guitar, soulful harmonica, and rich four-part harmonies with tasty lap steel and a country-fried rhythm section that drives this quintet like a runaway freight train, Old No. 8 has built a large, loyal following that comes out in force to listen, to dance and to drink. Combining the talents of five songwriters, Old No.8's live shows are at once both cohesive and unpredictable. With more than 100 original songs and a huge grab bag of covers in its repertoire, the band has yet to play the same set twice.

Story behind the song
Met a guy in the cooler...
Lyrics
I got bills to pay cuz my wife done run away They're gonna lock me up but Lord I tried to pay Goddamn I tried to pay But the judge put me away At the factory I worked since '83 50 pinkslips came and one was meant for me Goddamn I tried to pay But the judge put me away Now I'm sittin' here wastin' away in jail No one visits me, the guards don't bring no mail Goddamn I tried to pay But the judge put me away My kid's eyes are bright, his hair is curly gold When they set me free, he'll be 12 years old Goddamn I tried to pay But the judge put me away
