I've been out of commission for a while due to ripping a tendon in my left thumb. I couldn't play guitar for more than 5 minutes at a time, it was a bummer.

I saw Son Volt again a few weeks ago at the Paradise in Boston. Got inspired to write and play some more. This is a song off of their first CD.


You may be quite sure you know where you're going
But sooner or later you're out of the picture
Too many lost names, too many rules to the game
Better find a focus or you're out of the picture

Somewhere along the way the clock runs out
Somewhere along the way it all stands still

Firemen save a millionaire's mansion
But when it's done, they sleep on the side of the road
You may be lost, you'll find
Just another paradigm
Just a stop frame in time
And then you're out of the picture

Somewhere along the way the clock runs out
Somewhere along the way it all stands still

Take away this Columbus Day
No more bones on display
Blackhawk never had a say
Just taken out of the picture

Somewhere along the way the clock runs out
Somewhere along the way it all stands still (less info)
