Burma Shave, for me, was the only song worth spinning here. Lines like "Marysville ain't nothing but a wide spot in the road" just painted a great picture of the sort of town she's trying to leave.

"Anyway you point this things gotta beat the hell out of the sting, Of going to bed with every dream that dies here every morning."

Brutal. Without spoiling the ending, it's another heart-carver.
