Jason Isbell - Pale Fire lyrics

[Verse 1] She took her lover on a road trip Turned out to be a bad idea She lost his eagle feather roach clip A present from some sad Maria Things never made it back to normal He was the wrong kind of naive She stopped for gas in Oklahoma Left him alone on St. John's Eve [Chorus] There's a pale fire There's a pale fire There's a pale fire rising on the plain [Verse 2] Remember when you were a fighter? Remember when I was a queen? Now I'm just another rider Can't keep up with your machine Every man I meet is perfect Any better, they'd be wrong That way it's never really worth it And I can spend my days alone [Chorus] There's a pale fire There's a pale fire There's a pale fire rising on the plain [Bridge] Every man I meet is perfect Any better, they'd be wrong Now it's never really worth it And I can spend my days alone [Chorus] There's a pale fire There's a pale fire There's a pale fire rising on the plain
