"Everything Joel Hamilton has ever done has been total hogwash..." Says Owen about his counterpart, "I can't say why exactly I've allowed myself to be in cahoots with such a musical nobody but I reckon I'm happy to be responsible for the potentiality of him being involved in making the only record he'll probably ever release that might be worth a dam. I mean I'd be lying if i said he hadn't written all the good songs so far for the record, but it's only from being in the same house as me most of every day, seepin in all that good energy."
"Owen's probably the only man I've ever met that could pluck a chicken in 2 minutes flat with a blindfold about his head..." recites Joel...."And he's wrote a song or two i might not mind hearin all the way through....but I ain't never seen a more lazy, dim-witted, barely talented, white trash grave robber play the guitar like he was born in the King family.....I guess i figured it was worth the sack of money he offered me to write some songs with him......we'll see i reckon"
Seeing these two live is like nothing else you've ever experienced. You might not be sure whether one of them is gonna put a fist right in between the others twitchin eyes or give an ambiguous pat on the ass and start the next song...but one thing is for sure, you'll hear some music that'll make your heart jump right outta your chest and slap you right in the face cryin tears of blood.
...and the truth is, the eight or so songs I was barely lucky enough to scrounge a listen off of these Cohorts were some of the craftiest pieces of downright raw, make-me-weep-while-im-stompin-my-feet, heartfelt vintage country I'd heard in a long time. The records not finished yet but if you're lucky enough to catch these two live then you can pick up an advance 3-song compact disc with some tracks from the record that'll have you lacin up your boots and huntin down the next Inlaws show.

Future
The Inlaws Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see the same inside mine?
I can tell there's more than just today
Tomorrow has a lot left to say
With your hand in mine
We'll dance through time
Whether in or out of tune
'cause if you believe there's something here
Darlin' I do too
I can see the future in your eyes
Every time you blink I come alive
I can tell there's more than just today
This is the first of the first of many things
With your hand in mine
We'll dance through time
Whether in or out of tune
'cause if you believe there's something here
That's true
Darlin' I do too
So this is where we'll start(
Where are songs become on heart
And our feet begin to match in time
Your hand in mine
We'll move to the songs we never knew
And the ones we'll struggle through
And the ones that make our spirit song in perfect tune
The lyrics of The Inlaws' song Future convey the idea of a deep connection between two individuals. The opening line, "I can see the future in your eyes," implies that the singer feels a sense of certainty about the future with the person they are addressing. The next line poses a question about whether the other person shares this same sense of certainty, suggesting an underlying vulnerability and need for validation. The chorus reinforces the sentiment that there is something powerful and significant between them, beyond just the present moment.
The second verse adds an element of anticipation, as the singer expresses excitement about the many things to come. The repetition of the line "with your hand in mine, we'll dance through time" reinforces the idea of a partnership moving forward together. The final lines of the song describe a journey of discovery and growth, as the couple explores new music and faces the struggles that come with it. Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of hope and optimism about the future, anchored in a deep connection with another person.
