"I wrote it for my fiancée," says Cordero. "I was trying to imagine this kind of a rugged character who's beautiful but so hard to figure out. It's a west Texas love song, I guess."

Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, John Baumann, and Cleto Cordero are The Panhandlers. But they're also individuals with their own bands and careers to run.
