Son Volt is an alternative country group which formed in 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri. The band currently consists of Jay Farrar (vocals, guitar), Chris Masterson (guitar), Andrew Duplantis (bass, vocals), Mark Spencer (keyboards) and Dave Bryson (drums). Farrar is the only original member remaining in the band.
Son Volt formed after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

[Verse] BmD No time to be wayward GD No time to be unwound GD With darkness at your doorstep BmA Keep your feet on the ground
[Verse] BmD There will be times of injustice GD Times when there’s more lost than found GD Down times mixed with days of wonder BmA A real-life spinning merry-go-round
[Chorus] D With this back against the wall GBm All will soon be revealed GA Sirens sound and spirits fall GD With just this back against this wall
[Solo] DGBmGAGD
[Verse] BmD The signs will serve as your guide GD Above the water with head held high GD May you always go the distance BmA Through the darkness and the light
[Verse] BmD All the signs say pick up the pieces GD All the signs say make a stand as one GD What survives the long cold winter BmA Will be stronger and can’t be undone
[Chorus] D With this back against the wall GBm All will soon be revealed GA Sirens sound and spirits fall GD With just this back against this wall
[Chorus] D With this back against the wall GBm All will soon be revealed GA Sirens sound and spirits fall GD With just this back against this wall
