#206 (of 365) "Nebraska" Grandaddy

Grandaddy has a grand total of 7 songs on this countdown, which puts the band in pretty rarified air, but only one of the songs made the top 200. This is my second favorite of all their songs, and it was part of their first full release, a cassette-only album from 1994 that as far as I know isn't even on streaming. Somehow I have a copy on my iTunes (on my hard drive) and have had it forever. It also came out as a B-side to the single "Taster" from that same album but never made any of the multiple great compilation records of Grandaddy's early work. But try to find it if you can. It's amazing. 

If there was just somehow
Switch off the power
And re-root the wiring
We'd all have a ball
I'm going to Nebraska
Cause I long for the grasslands
Get a job as a ranch hand
Good luck to you all

I'm catching a greyhound
I'm bent on the eastbound
Can't wait for my new town
​Good luck to you all
