Songfacts®:

• The Dead Weather are the rock quartet of The White Stripes/Raconteurs' Jack White on drums and vocals, the Kills' Alison Mosshart on vocals, the Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence on bass and Queens of the Stone Age's Dean Fertita on guitar. This is a track from their debut album, Horehound.
  
  White and Mosshart wrote the song; typical of Mosshart's lyrics, there's a menace to it, as she sings about laying low to avoid her baby, who is some kind of drifter. The Dead Weather recorded the whole album in about three weeks, writing the songs in the studio. Mosshart often pieced together lines as they came to her and used the music to guide her.
• On this song Jack White goes crash cymbal crazy. White's last booking as a drummer was with the Detroit punk outfit Goober and the Peas, aged 19. He told The Guardian July 3, 2009: "Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: 'I'll do this for now, but I'm really a drummer.' That's what I'll put on my passport application."
