The Blue: Jason Isbell

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 holes,

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

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

I'll take advantage of the blue

Mark me up so they can see the best of me

Hold me down so I can't find a drink

Dance so I don't have to think
