From “Monsters of Folk” (2009) this song features Conor Oberst on lead vocals and the lyrics showcase many of his signatures.

The song deals with restlessness in the face of comfort, and the means to keep ahead of that feeling. Like Robert Johnson, Oberst has Ramblin' on his Mind, and so he rambles, hopping planes, taking all-night drives, and even doing some nefarious deeds, all to stay Ahead of the Curve.
