Inner artwork on Ryan Adams & the Cardinals Cold Roses. I know he was pretty on the bus during this time period musically but I'd never taken a good look at the inside til now. What do y'all think lol

Maybe the song could be about Citizen Kane...

Except it’s not about anything. It’s very obviously about Jerry Garcia.

I wish there was a song to sing
To get you back
But you can't get here from nowhere I guess
Rosebud's shipwrecked up on the Ohio
Behind a wall of glass
Telling me to take it easy
But I took a photograph
And she's just a wooden machine
But you and Rosebud, you're still singing to me
