Lazy Bones

Track 3 of West, premiered by Stereogum on July 5, 2011.
Wooden Shjips, from West (2011)

We found no verified songwriting credit and no statement from the band about the lyric. Stereogum's Brandon Stosuy premiered it on July 5, 2011, calling it galloping. Drowned in Sound heard countrified fuzz, imagining Spacemen 3 with Johnny Cash on vocals; PopMatters said the chorus melody comes straight off the Doors' Waiting for the Sun; Exclaim! called it easily the record's catchiest number; and Relix compared it to "Whipping Post" rewritten by commune-dwelling kraut-rockers. Toppermost places it sixth in its Wooden Shjips top ten.

The nyctaper recording of the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on June 24, 2012 has it fifth in the set. We assume our upload is the studio version from West.
