At My Post Lyrics
Branches wavin' madly in the air
Waving 'round like they don't even care
Last time I considered leavin' here
The roads caught fire and I drank all our beer
I'm here at my post
I've learned a lot
I've learned that the fruit on the ground's gonna rot
There's more ATM's with air conditioning
Than there are birds on the wing
I'm here at my post
I've learned a few things
Like the sun ain't afraid
To bleach out a dream
And the way that you were ain't the way that you'll always be
Please believe me
Branches wave and ask for change to spare
Once I did, but now I barely care
Last time I considered leavin' town
Something dumb came up and I turned around
I'm here at my post
I've learned a lot
I've learned that the fruit on the ground's gonna rot
There's more ATM's with air conditioning
Than there are birds on the wing
I'm here at my post
I've learned a few things
Like the sun ain't afraid to bleach out a dream
And the way that you were ain't the way that you'll always be
Please believe me
I'm here at my post
Waving 'round like they don't even care
The roads caught fire and I drank all our beer
I've learned a lot
I've learned that the fruit on the ground's gonna rot
There's more ATM's with air conditioning
Than there are birds on the wing
I've learned a few things
Like the sun ain't afraid
To bleach out a dream
And the way that you were ain't the way that you'll always be
Please believe me
Once I did, but now I barely care
Something dumb came up and I turned around
I've learned a lot
I've learned that the fruit on the ground's gonna rot
There's more ATM's with air conditioning
Than there are birds on the wing
I've learned a few things
Like the sun ain't afraid to bleach out a dream
And the way that you were ain't the way that you'll always be
Please believe me

How does this not have comments?! It's such a flawlessly beautiful song. It always puts me in a cool, calm, thoughtful state.
This song repeats a similar chord structure from an earlier Grandaddy B-Side, Shedeleter. At My Post continues the theme of isolation and loneliness found throughout this EP, summing up Lytle's feelings about Modesto.
