Lovely movie about which I have only one complaint

Tommy Lee Jones rides past a church and tells his horse that he really likes the congregation's singing.

Me too, but for the life of me I can't find the name of the hymn.

If Jones had left full details of the sound track in the credits I would have give this a 10. But he didn't, so I won't.

Trivia
Matt Damon said that in 1995, he was paid $20,000 to be in Tommy Lee Jones' film The Good Old Boys. He was able to hang out with Jones all summer and the money kept Damon and Ben Affleck free from having to take other jobs so that they could write Good Will Hunting (1997).

Goofs
Almost all of the costumes are obviously brand-new, with no attempt to age them. This is particularly noticeable in the first scene, with the close-up shot of the chaps, which had supposedly had at least two years' use.
