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.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

We’ve [D] tried to [G] guide each [D] day through [G] life Hearts were [D] tried but [G] always [A] true [G] Shifting fate left us to realize There’s nothing more that we could [D] do
They say it [D] can’t go wrong [G] But we [D] can’t go right [G] Always a [D] common thread [G] bet[C]ween us
Though our [G] hearts and minds don’t [D] waver Waiting for [D] love That’s [A] out of [D] danger [A] [D]
[D] Circumstance [G] [D] Left to chance [G] That’s when the [D] romance [G] fires did [A] burn [G] Deal’s gone down so we wait around Waiting for two to [D] learn
Making our [G] days [D] living this way [G] So much to [D] gain, [G] so [C] much to lose
Though our [G] hearts and minds don’t [D] waver Waiting for [D] love That’s [A] out of [D] danger [A] [D]
