why does everyone go on about this? If you want exact lyrics listen to a cd...hell the recorded version is just one the version of it he happened to be playing at that time...there are no proper lyrics! Bob Dylan does it (see how his lyrics changed during his divorce), Leonard Cohen does it (it took five years of changing to settle on a version of hallelujah)... His song, his lyrics. it doesn't matter
@kookykaymo yeah thats part. but also he said something about how he thinks a song is never fully finished. So live he decides to change it up to a different way he thought after he recorded it.
he had it last time I saw him for sure and in the outer south album, on the reverse side it's in the pile of stuff...And my mistake it is a "four winds" ring not a mood ring,
yeah, but sometimes he changes his lyrics intentionally, and other times he forgets. for instance, during one tour he changed some lyrics to road to joy, he inserted lines from sun ra,"talkin' 'bout...NUCLEAR WAR!" and, as a performer, i also wouldn't sound so condescending
I understand why he mixes it up like that, sing alongs piss me off too but it just sounds way better the other way in my opinion, this is good but not as good.
