jason isbell - super 8 (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
having such a sweet night, audience was just right
drinking like a pirate do
don’t wanna sleep yet, buddy, it’s a good bet
i’ll raise more h+ll than you
do a couple rails and chase your own tail
talk about the bad ol’ days
tremor in a t+shirt telling me her heart hurt
honey, let me count the ways
then a big boy busted in, screaming ’bout his girlfriend
and waving ’round a fungo bat
bass player stepping up, brandishing a coffee cup
took it in the baby fat

[chorus]
don’t wanna die in a super 8 motel
just because somebody’s evening didn’t go so well
if i ever get back to bristol, i’m better off sleeping in the county jail
i don’t wanna die in a super 8 motel
[verse 2]
when they finally got the room clear, i’m bleeding from my left ear
feeling pretty bad for the maid
lost a couple drinks and my dinner in the sink
and i woke up with the bed still made
well, it wasn’t quite morning, i wasn’t quite breathing
my heart way up in my throat
girl starts screaming and the maid starts screaming
and it looks like it’s all she wrote
then they slapped me back to life and they telephoned my wife
and they filled me full of pedialyte
saw my guts and my glory, woulda make a great story
if i only could remember it right

[outro]
well, i don’t wanna die in a super 8 motel

[interlude]
thank you
