Well, early in the mornin’
’Til late at night
I got a poison headache
But I feel all right
I’m pledging my time to you
Hopin’ you’ll come through, too

Tweedy practically died and went to heaven on stage. Really quite a treat to see that.

Please tell me in the comments section if I have missed any of their Dylan covers.
