Uncle Tupelo

Uncle Tupelo was an alternative country music group from Belleville, Illinois, active between 1987 and 1994. Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedy, and Mike Heidorn formed the band after the lead singer of their previous band, The Primitives, left to attend college. The trio recorded three albums for Rockville Records, before signing with Sire Records and expanding to a five-piece. Shortly after the release of the band's major label debut album Anodyne, Farrar announced his decision to leave the band owing to a soured relationship with his co-songwriter Tweedy. Uncle Tupelo split on May 1, 1994, after completing a farewell tour. Following the breakup, Farrar formed Son Volt with Heidorn, while the remaining members continued as Wilco. more »

On liquor I spend my last dime

Sunday morning, 8am
Cursing myself again
Drinking like this one might be my last

Memories of making jokes
Too much beer and talk-show hosts
One of them that's fading fast

Here's to waking up at night
Drunk and undressed by the side of the road
You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this
Before I break down
You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live
Thanks so much, I've had enough

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night
On liquor I spend my last dime

A worried man drinks a healthy drink
But he drinks nine or ten until he's done
Then he'll tell you his life story
But he won't stop until he's told you and everyone

Here's to waking up at night
Drunk and undressed by the side of the road
You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this
Before I break down
You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live
Thanks so much, I've had enough

Well, it'd do me just fine to make it through the night
On liquor I spend my last dime

Memories of making jokes
Too much beer and talk-show hosts
One of them that's fading fast

Here's to waking up at night
Drunk and undressed by the side of the road
You're still thinking

That you can't go on like this
Before I break down
You keep saying thanks so much, I can't live
