The Blue

The Blue - Jason Isbell/the 400 Unit

Don't roll away that stone girl

Leave it where it lay

You think he's coming home but you know it's not today

I think the road will break me

And never fill the hole

But every time I'm saved I stop beating out a soul

I'm too scared to ask

The right questions

And too tired to fill

The right shoes

So I'll take advantage of

The blues

Oh I'll take advantage of the blue

There really ain't no difference

In michigan and maine

If you ain't here to see this I'm missing just the same

Your skin as soft as water

Same temperature as me

I'd never know I touched you if you didn't let me see

I'd crawl to meet you

If you'd just stay there

And finally have

A thing I couldn't bear to lose

So I'll take advantage of

The blues

Oh I'll take advantage of the blue

Mark me up

So they can see the best of me

Hold me down

When I can't

Find a drink

Dance so I don't

Have to think

Dance so I don't

Have to think

Please dance so I don't

Have to think
