Jason Isbell - We've Met



We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face
I should have never left this place
We've met, before you were a Christian
Before your eyes were blue, and all that gets you through
Do you know how long I've waited
Do you know how long I waited
For you

Dream big, that's what you used to tell me
Before I went away
Would you say the same today
You knew, that I couldn't work the foundry and
I couldn't play the fool and
I wouldn't stay for you
And the drunks all think I made it
And the girls all twist and shake it like they do

All my playground fears have faded
Replaced with grown up nightmares that come true

We've met in another motion picture with stain glass effigies, Did it even look like me
I bet this town is in your blood now
But it didn't have to be
No it didn't have to be
You know I thought I'd find the answers
In the troubadour land dancers
Brand new
Do you think I've learned my lesson
Did I make a new impression on you
We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face
I should have never left this place...
