I Guess I Planted Lyrics - Wilco

I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song 

Way down inside me long ago 

And now I can't remember when it was 

But it joined up with the rest of them and grows 

It's such a little song it don't compare 

With all your big ones you hear everywhere 

But when it dawns way in the back of your mind 

The big ones are made up of the little kind 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

I can't even start to look around me here 

Without hearing this song 

And seeing all of us first separated 

Hurt apart and afraid 

Hungry for the union 

And so we kept on 

Singing and working, fighting till we got it 

And this is the big union song I guess I hear 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

We fought there at your place 

We fought there on your ship 

And I guess if you missed out on 

The fight for our union 

You missed out on one awful big step 

Us people took 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now 

Union song, union battled 

All added up won us all what we got now
