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).

Son Volt formed after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

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

With just this back against this wall

With this back against the wall

All will soon be revealed
