Notes:	Ryan Adams: "It's another song where I'm going back to my life in North Carolina. It's about what it was like to feel so sort of abandoned and so lonely in a place that was so still. Literally, stuff that you'd do on a Tuesday afternoon or a Tuesday evening is you'd sit on the porch and smoke cigarettes and that was about it. I love where I'm from and I'm very proud of being from there - but I'm so proud of it that I also want to examine all the different possibilities of how heavy and how real - in an unreal sort of way - Jacksonville is. And that's another song where I get to think about that."

Lyrics:	Sit around, dream away the place I’m from Used to feel so much, now I just feel numb I could go out tonight, but I ain’t sure what for Call a friend or two I don’t know anymore Sit and listen to the rain Sit and listen to the rain Gonna ride down to the river where it runs Gonna watch TV and pray for decent reruns Sit around and dream away what I’ve become Used to feel so much, now I just feel dumb Sit and listen to the rain Sit and listen to the rain I’ll never understand this emptiness I’ll never really try and understand, I guess I’ll never understand this emptiness I’ll never really try and understand, Try and understand, I guess Sit around, dream away the place I’m from Used to feel so much, now I just feel dumb Could go out tonight, but I ain’t sure what for Call a friend or two I don’t know anymore Sit and listen to the rain Sit and listen to the rain
