Streetlights
Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit Where's that angel with dirty knees Who wasn't hard to please when we first met? She don't act like she needs me now And she don't even seem to be upset
Maybe I cover too much ground I've been from town to town since I grew up Could my dreams take up too much space? I'll never find a place that's big enough
Well, the chairs go up on the bar now And the table lights go black So I order one last double Start calling people back
Marc sounds good, he's been working hard He couldn't punch a card to save his life Says he's glad that he quit the road He says he's getting old, he missed his wife
Little Em's been asleep since nine I'm sure she's doing fine, she always is Dad won't answer his phone at night But I guess that's alright, the place is his
And the chairs are up on the bar now And they're asking me to leave So I give the girl a bill Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And start rolling down my sleeves
In my pocket, directions Back across the railroad tracks to where I crash Maybe I should wave down a car I won't be going far and I've got cash
Think I blocked just a park away But I can't really say, it's been all night How I wish you would call me here But you just disappeared, it wasn't right
And the streetlights help a little But they're barely half alive And I don't feel much like walking I sure as hell can't drive
Close your eyes and remember this It won't be back again, it's almost gone Even times that don't seem like much Will be your only crutch when you're alone
Time moves slow when you're seventeen And then it picks up steam at twenty one Pretty soon you'll remember When you could remember when you loved someone
