Jason Isbell - Hope The High Road lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to think that this was my town What a stupid thing to think I hear you're fighting off a breakdown I myself am on the brink I used to want to be a real man I don't know what that even means Now I just want you in my arms again And we can search each other's dreams [Chorus] I know you're tired And you ain't sleeping well Uninspired And likely mad as hell But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again [Verse 2] I've heard enough of the white man's blues I've sang enough about myself So if you're looking for some bad news You can find it somewhere else Last year was a son of a b**h For nearly everyone we know But I ain't fighting with you down in a ditch I'll meet you up here on the road [Chorus] I know you're tired And you ain't sleeping well Uninspired And likely mad as hell But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again To a world you want to live in [Bridge] We'll ride the ship down Dumping buckets overboard There can't be more of them than us There can't be more [Chorus] I know you're tired And you ain't sleeping well Uninspired And likely mad as hell But wherever you are I hope the high road leads you home again To a world you want to live in To a world you want to live in
