A história do Son Volt começa com o término do Uncle Tupelo, banda seminal para o que convencionou chamar de alternative-country (ou alt-country). Enquanto Jeff Tweedy seguiria adiante com o aclamado Wilco, buscando novas referências que não apenas a música norte-americana de raíz, Jay Farrar permaneceria firme em suas convicções formando o Son Volt.

[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
