Cover art for Soon lyrics by Squirrel Nut Zippers

This song is about being a poor musician. His phone doesn't ring and his (electric) line doesn't sting because he can't pay the bills. He dreams of air conditioning because he's in North Carolina and it's hot. He's feeling coming change, and he's achieving it by going whole hog (strongest bow, longest arrow).
