| Notes: | Ryan Adams interview: "I was in a blissful state when I wrote "Here’s to the Rest of The World" and "Factory Girl." Those preceded what I was getting ready to start feeling back then. I think they were the calm before the storm. In retrospect, I knew that was the last optimism I was gonna have for a long time. I guess those songs aren’t necessarily optimistic, but they definitely aren’t as dark as the other stuff." |

| Lyrics: | I know the world is a
mess I like the patterns on your dress Would you have a drink with me please Have a couple or three I see you walk by I don't speak but try Have a drink with me please Don't say anything I look like a mess The patterns of your dress... They blind me Here's to the rest of the world I guess that you deserve something You work so hard at Trying to be just like everyone else Except people like me Well, the lights shining down onto the street The city lingers as it overheats I'm on idle right now Don't feel so proud Wait for the others to join the crowd And they come Ones Threes Here's to the rest of the world Oh, I don't know Here's something that you deserve... A drink or two Come on and sit down with me And we'll pretend everything We'll pretend everything It's easy. |
