Jason Isbell - Danko/Manuel lyrics

[written by Jason Isbell] Let the night air cool you off Tilt your head back and try to cough Don't say nothin' 'bout the things you never saw Let the night air cool you off I ain't livin' like I should A little rest might do me good Got to sinkin' in the place where I once stood Now I ain't livin' like I should [Chorus 1] Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold Maybe I can only hear it my head Fifteen years ago they owned that road Now it's rolling over us instead Richard Manuel is dead God forbid you call their bluff Like the nightmares ain't enough Remember when we used to think that we were tough? God forbid you call their bluff First they make you out to be The only pirate on the sea And they say Danko would have sounded just like me Is that the man I want to be? [Chorus 2] Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold Maybe I can make it bigger overseas Fifteen years ago they owned that road Now it only gives us somewhere else to leave Something else you can't believe [Chorus 3] Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave Singin' where to reap and when to sow When you've found another home you have to leave Something else you can't believe Something else you can't believe
