jason isbell - live oak (demo) كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
there’s a man who walks beside me, he is who i used to be
and i wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
and i wonder who she’s pinin’ for on nights i’m not around
could it be the man who did the things i’m living down?

[verse 2]
i was rougher than the timber shippin’ out of fond du lac
when i headed south at seventeen, the sheriff on my back
and i’d never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze
so i found another victim every couple days

[verse 3]
but the night i fell in love with her i made my weaknеss known
through the fighters and the farmеrs diggin’ dusty fields alone
and the jealous innuendos of the lonely_hearted men
let me know what kind of country i was sleeping in

[verse 4]
well, you couldn’t stay a loner on the plains before the war
my neighbors took to slightin’ me, i had to ask what for
rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
soon she’d heard about the boys i used to hang around

[verse 5]
we’d robbed a great lakes freighter, k!lled a couple men aboard
when i told her her eyes fl!ckered like the sharp steel of a sword
all the things that she’d suspected i’d expected her to fear
was the truth that drew her to me when i landed here
[verse 6]
there’s a man who walks beside me, he is who i used to be
and i wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
and i wonder who she’s pinin’ for on nights i’m not around
could it be the man who did the things i’m living down?

[verse 7]
well, i carved a cross from live oak and a box from shortleaf pine
and i buried her so deep she touched the water table line
and i packed up what i needed and i headed south again
