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!

Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1] DG Walkin down Main Street, gettin' to know the concrete AD Lookin for a purpose from a neon sign. G I would meet you anywhere western sun meets the air AD I'll hit the road, never lookin' behind.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Banjo Solo] DEmGD
[Verse 2] DG Seein' traces of the scars that came before AD written in the pavement, still askin' for more G when the hours don't move along, worn-out wood and familiar songs AD To hear your voice is not enough, is more than a shame.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
[Solo] DEmGD DEmAD
[Verse 3] DG Like a man said, rode hard and put away wet AD throw away the bad news and put it to rest G If learnin' is livin', and the truth is a state of mind AD you'll find it's better at the end of the line.
[Chorus] DEm Can you deny, there's nothin' greater GD nothin' more than travelin' hands of time Em St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.

DEm St. Genevieve can hold back the water, AD but saints don't bother with a tear stained eye.
