Opening with the line "I'm 61 years old now, Lord I never thought I'd see 30," the song finds a character who bears a strong resemblance to Lowe contemplating his mortality: "Will I be beloved and celebrated for my masterly climb, or just another bum when it comes to checkout time?"
Lowe will join Wilco on the first leg of their 2011 North American tour this fall. Additional solo dates will be announced soon.
