Thread Name: Lyr Req: True Life Blues (Bill Monroe)
Subject: name a Gillian Welch cover
Can anybody name the tune Gillian Welch does live that was written by Charlie Monroe's wife, about the reality vs. the expectations of married life? It starts with the lyrics:

I hate to see the sun sink low Just for a thought; you ought to know That it's your love I can't forget All of my sorrow you'll soon regret

And ends with:

They'll go away and leave you home They'll never care if you're alone They seem to forget they've got a wife This story's sad but it's a true life
