We've Met

Jason Isbell


We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face, I should have never left this place,
We've met, before you were a christian
Before your eyes were blue, and all that gets you through
Do you know how long I've waited
Do you know how long I waited, for you

Dream big, that's what you used to tell me
Before I went away, would you say the same today,
You knew, that I couldn't work the foundry
And I couldn't play the fool and I wouldn't stay for you
And the drunks all think I made it, and
The girls all twist and shake it like they do,
All my playground fears have faded replaced
With grown up nightmares that have come true

We've met in another motion picture with
Stain glass effigies, did it even look like me,
I bet this town is in your blood now
But it didn't have to be, no it didn't have to be
You know I thought I'd find the answers in
The troubadour land dancers, brand new
Do you think I've learned my lesson
Did I make a new impression on you
We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face, I should have never left this place
