jason isbell - crimson and clay lyrics

[verse 1]
i had it with me everywhere i’ve been

you could strip me of everything i own
and just leave me with the memories of my alabama home

[chorus]
i guess the highway didn’t k!ll me after all
but i thought i was a goner in that trailer fire in arkansas
but i just let her burn and walked away
and crawled back to the crimson and the clay

[verse 2]
i got a little bolt action for my 9th birthday
and i can flip a silver dollar from a hundred yards away
a 1911 under my floor mat
then one day it just occurred to me, i got no use for that

[chorus]
guess the city didn’t k!ll me after all
the thing that nearly took me out was loneliness and alcohol
and i just put it down and walked away
and crawled back to the crimson and the clay

[verse 3]
see the moon in the morning, i antic+p+te the night
l!cked the spoon in the kitchen, we prayed to martha white
little noose in a locker, brown eyes crying in the hall
rebel flags on the highway, wooden crosses on the wall
[chorus]
guess the small town didn’t suit me after all
there’s still so many lonely kids surrounded by the rest of y’all
and i can’t seem to keep myself away
so i head back to the crimson and the clay
