Biography:
Son Volt is an alternative country group which formed in 1994 in St. Louis, Missouri. The band currently consists of Jay Farrar (vocals, guitar), Chris Masterson (guitar), Andrew Duplantis (bass, vocals), Mark Spencer (keyboards) and Dave Bryson (drums). Farrar is the only original member remaining in the band.
Son Volt formed after the breakup of the band Uncle Tupelo, owing to the simmering creative differences between songwriters Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.

Passing under barren skies

Waiting for our worlds to collide

And there you are

Side by side
D C G
To survive like creosote
[Chorus]

Born under widespread changes
G
The search for higher reason
C
Learning the ropes okay

But fate just runs you around
