Lyrics

If I could come back new

The Wilco band biography, "Wilco: Learning How to Die", mentions that Tweedy carried 20th century American novelist, Henry Miller’s "Tropic Of Cancer" around with him for eight years. “Ashes of American Flags” includes paraphrases from the novel from this song Note also that the lyrics to “Poor Places” include the line “He takes all his words from the books that you don’t read, anyway.” The band re-used the song’s title for the 2009 live concert film, "Wilco Live: Ashes of American Flags".
