Uncle Tupelo, the seminal '90s band from Belleville Illinois, is often hailed as the genesis of alt-country. While high school friends Jay Farrar, Jeff Tweedyand Mike Heidorn may shirk that credit, their mutual quest to blend punk rockroots with traditional folk classic countrymelodies had a profound effect on rootsmusic. Formed in 1987, Uncle Tupelo released four full-length albums before disbanding in 1994. Tweedy formed the band Wilco, while Farrar formed Son Voltas well as performing solo. now, it's free and you will discover so much great music :) Upload Your MusicFor ArtistsFor LabelsWidgetsDownload Last.fmImage ChartsPlugins & ExtrasData FeedsBlog Badges & LogoTop ChartsWeekly Top ArtistsWeekly Top TracksOverall Tag ChartsFree DownloadsForumsWeb Site SupportLast.fm Client SupportFeedback and IdeasAbout UsContactAdvertiseTeamModeratorsCareersHelpFAQSupportWhat’s NewPrivacySubscribeRecent Updates.

Before I Break Lyrics
Uncle Tupelo
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 undresssed 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
