Wrote this track during a road trip with my father to Chicago in January of 2021. The song is an ode to Wilco's 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'.
I went to sit in an office and write during my first morning there, and like a pilgrimage to Mecca I looked up and saw the two buildings from the album cover looking at me through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
I felt like it was a good omen, considering I believed for many years Tweedy was one of the key-holders to the great gates of songwriting.
I still do, actually.
lyrics
The two spikes in the sky wrote a melody
I’ve been singing for ten years or so
I got it while it was good, and I left after the show
It wasn’t hard to answer for somebody else
I’ve got a bed and a ticket cuz I’m on the run
The city was cool for an hourglass, but it kept me up all night
With nothing to do I was watching my step underneath the neon signs
But it wasn’t hard to believe that great things may come
But I'm not the one its coming to
Weary-eyed- i'll get there okay,
I’m watching the train on my homecoming
The last four digits of your credit card came to mind
but I'll pay it forward
Weary-eyed I'll get there okay,
I’m watching the train on my homecoming
The last four digits of your credit card came to mind
but Ill pay it forward
Ill pay it forward , Ill pay it forward
credits
