  • Could be one of six songs: * A 1962 single by Ray Charles * A 1962 single by Johnny Cash * A 1977 single by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers * A 1992 single by Social Distortion * A 1999 single by Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society * A 2002 single by Dee Dee Ramone Also could be a reference to the song by the SoCal hardcore punk band Social Distortion.

  • Could be one of six songs: * A 1962 single by Ray Charles * A 1962 single by Johnny Cash * A 1977 single by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers * A 1992 single by Social Distortion * A 1999 single by Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society * A 2002 single by Dee Dee Ramone In this context it's likely to be the Johnny Cash one, which is a version of a traditional country song. The Ray Charles version is the same traditional song. The Johnny Thunders song is also a possibility because The Hold Steady's sound could easily appeal to both fans of Bruce Springsteen and fans of Johnny Thunders. Also could be a reference to the song by the SoCal hardcore punk band Social Distortion. It is a reference to the Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers song, confirmed by Craig after a show.
