In Their Words: “The lyrics to ‘30 Mile Run’ are inspired by various stories I heard growing up about a real legendary mountaineer and moonshiner named Palmo McCall. My dad and I occasionally traveled up the mountain behind our house where Palmo lived. I remember trying his whiskey once; some people even said he would burn the stuff in his truck. He had a kind soul and a good heart, but had a habit of getting in trouble with the law. Palmo is gone, but his legend lives on. I just wanted to do my part in keeping his ‘mountain man’ character alive in a fun way by writing this song and recording it with the band.” — Josh Carter, Pretty Little Goat
