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.

No wage can [D] buy what the world never wanted Hearts press [G] on anyway undaunted Where there’s [D] smoke there’s fire, faith has charm But faith can de[A]stroy
By and [D] by all the threads are sewn Dark [G] clouds make their presence known [D] Stand by the fire and just [A] hope That it doesn’t [D] burn out
CHORUS When the [D] world is not what it [A] seems On the [G] outside looking in on a dream Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the wild spirit [A] still When the [D] world around caves [A] in Lights will [G] shine, let your life begin Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the [Asus2] wild spirit [D] still
No matter [D] what you set out to find There’s compe[G]tition down the line The [D] crime of one might be salt of the earth to [A] nine
Makes no [D] difference what others say and do The path goes [G] on showing the way for you The [D] sign says redemption ahead [A] Straight on [D] through
CHORUS When the [D] world is not what it [A] seems On the [G] outside looking in on a dream Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the wild spirit [A] still When the [D] world around caves [A] in Lights will [G] shine, let your life begin Don’t let the barricades of [D] life keep the [Asus2] wild spirit [D] still Don’t let the [G] barricades of [D] life keep the [Asus2] wild spirit [D] still
