just a thought but the lyrics actually are.. in the verse anyhow

It wasn’t government issue It wasn't "BLACK FLAG"
It was a darkness In me that I had
It wasn’t peacetime it wasn’t war
It was a flesh wound It was an eyesore

Re: Eyesore aka It Wasn't

You are right. How about the lines:

I was a racecar played like a wrecker

Do you think these are correct? I've only heard one poorly recorded version of this song and could never make it out. This is probably my favorite Ryan Adams song to play.
