Jukebox of Steel Lyrics

Words and Music by Son Volt from the 2009 Album "American Central Dust"
The basic chord progression is simple, but I like to throw in lots of hammers and pulls
add more rhythm.
Continental motion certainty, the merciful wheels
Where the living are living on solvents and ashes
Time chain of loneliness, half tone rebellions
Nomadic upturns and lights, the skeleton key turns the night
Antiheroes to follow too, bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away, gonna find a jukebox of steel
A still life with a bottle, a newspaper and a glass
The carrot dangles and the dance goes on, the bitters circle the
drain
Emancipate the commonplace, ride high the relief roads
Of nightfall and enchanted ends, revelry in borrowed clothes
Antiheroes to follow too, bar and string salvation
Throw the calendar away, gonna find a jukebox of steel
