- A gorgeous song to close out 2022.
Twenty miles left to the show
Hello, my old country, hello
Stars are just beginning to appear
And I have never in my life before been here
And it's my heart, not me, who cannot drive
At which conclusion you arrived
Watching me sit bolt upright and cry for no good reason
At the eastering sky
And the tilt of this strange nation
And the will to remain for the duration
Waving the flag, feeling it drag
Like a bump on a bump on a log, baby
Like I'm in a fistfight with the fog, baby
Step, ball, change, and a pirouette
And I regret, I regret
How I said to you, "Honey, just open your heart"
When I have trouble even opening a honey jar
And that right there is where we are
Well I've been 'fessing double fast
Addressing questions nobody asked
I'll get this joy off of my chest at last
And I will love you till the noise has long since passed
And I did not mean to shout, just drive
Just get us out dead or alive
The road's too long to mention, Lord, it's something to see
Laid down by the Good Intentions Paving Company
All the way to the thing we've been playing at, darling
I can see that you're wearing your staying hat, darling
For the time being all is well
Won't you love me a spell?
This is blindness beyond all conceiving
While behind us the road is leaving, leaving
Falling back like a rope gone slack
And I saw straightaway that the lay was steep
But I fell for you, honey, easy as falling asleep
And that right there is the course I keep
And no amount of talking is gonna soften the fall
But like after the rain, step out from the overhang, that's all
It had a nice ring to it when the old Opry House rang
So with a solemn auld lang syne, sealed, delivered I sang
And there is hesitation, and it always remains
Concerning you, me, and the rest of the gang
But in our quiet hour I feel I see everything
And I'm in love with the hook upon which everyone hangs
And I know you meant to show the extent
To which you gave a goddang
You ranged real hot and real cold, but I'm sold
I'm at home on that range
And I do hate to fold right here at the top of my game
When I've been trying with my whole heart and soul
To stay right here in the right lane
But it can make you feel over and old
Lord, you know it's a shame
When all I want's for you to pull over and hold me
Till I can't remember my own name
Great cover!!!
Whoa, what a great song! Such a delightful blend of mystery and clarity
This is one of my favorite songs ever written. Thank you.
Cool, simple cover. Nailed some of those harder vocals

Possibly the perfect acoustic cover.
i hate joanna newsom covers in general but this was coo
Very well done! Any chance of getting tabs for your version? I'm having a little difficulty picking out exactly what some of the chord shapes are you're using.
