Picture in your mind: In some forsaken corner of the American West, under a sky black with storm clouds, a man rides across the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. He has a gun on his hip and a Bible in his saddlebag. He's pushing his horse to its absolute limit, but it's not clear why he's in such a hurry--whether he's the pursuer or the pursued, fleeing the law or [[God]] himself.
Line 16:

* [[Album Title Drop]]: On ''Secret South''.
* [[Bawdy Song]]: "Ruthie Lingle" and "Hang My Teeth on Your Door". Incidentally the latter is one of the few 16HP songs not penned by DEE.
Line 36:
* [[Cover Album]]: ''Folklore'' only had two original songs. The rest of the tracks are covers of [[Hank Williams]], the Carter Family, and various traditional songs (American, French, Hungarian, Tuvan, etc.).
* [[Drone of Dread]]: When Edwards breaks out his squeezebox, the song will either be even more ominous than 16HP's usual fare, [[Inverted Trope|or it will be the most upbeat song on the entire album]].
* [[Face of the Band]]: David Eugene Edwards. [
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: DEE's lyrics hew very close to [[The Bible]], so God is portrayed as both supremely good and (per fan consensus) scary as hell.
* [[A Good Name for a Rock Band]]: It's a reference to a folk song: the coffin of a beloved being borne to the grave by sixteen horses. For a very brief period, their name was just Horsepower--they changed because too many people thought it was a drug reference.
