Gus Hyatt robbed a train at the Saint Bethlehem stop in Clarksville, Tennessee in 1897, killing the conductor. He was later sent to prison at the Tennessee State Prison. There, he spent years masterminding a grand prison break that involved shipping dynamite and guns into the prison. In 1902, he succeeded by blowing up one wall of the Gothic stone building, killing several inmates in the process. Gus escaped down the river. He was caught and shot dead in Oklahoma many years later. We stayed up ’til the clock was tired listening to your alibis you’re just a boy from a world of train wrecks and sacraments you destroy the girls and you’re not here by accident so find out for me what’s outside for me You found a way to just pretend who you are and where you’ve been a deck of cards and the guards of the avenues and boulevards can’t change the stars what’s in the blood of who you are so count on some cross to find the things you lost There’s a light by the river tonight you know this dynamite ain’t on your side still you leave there’s a sign in the moonlight sky so you light the fuse and you use the ones who can’t get away You traded spades for cigarettes you said your love from Louisville forgets the truth ’cause the gin at Saint Bethlehem is to blame for the game that we’re all playing so I’ll hold you close while the world explodes There’s a light by the river tonight you know this dynamite ain’t on your side still you leave there’s a sign in the moonlight sky so you light the fuse and you use the ones who can’t get away You traded spades for cigarettes you said your love from Louisville forgets the truth and the gin are from Saint Bethlehem
