*if you’re gonna shine like a diamond
you’ve gotta stretch like the sea
you’ve gotta keep, keep a moving
singing trouble don’t follow me
*
it’s a lone and lonesome road
you don’t have to walk alone
through scorched earth and barren fields
you don’t have to walk alone
there’s some luck around the bend
you don’t have to walk alone
tell injury you’re on the mend
you don’t have to walk alone
*
can you see it up ahead
we don’t have far to go
when i get there i’ll sit right down
we don’t have far to go
you’ll have such a tale to tell
you don’t have far to go
you got up after you fell
and you don’t have far to go
*
it’s a liar and a thief
push sorrow away
come and get that good relief
push sorrow away
there’s no room for those kind of lies
push sorrow away
up ahead theres clear bright skies
so push sorrow away

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando
