Hope the High Road - Jason Isbell/the 400 Unit

I used to think that this was my town

What a stupid thing to think

I hear you're fighting off a breakdown

I myself am on the brink

I used to want to be a real man

I don't know what that even means

Now I just want you in my arms again

And we can search each other's dreams

I know you're tired

And you ain't sleeping well

Uninspired

And likely mad as hell

But wherever you are

I hope the high road leads you home again

I've heard enough of the white man's blues

I've sang enough about myself

So if you're looking for some bad news

You can find it somewhere else

Last year was a son of a b***h

For nearly everyone we know

But I ain't fighting with you down in a ditch

I'll meet you up here on the road

I know you're tired

And you ain't sleeping well

Uninspired

And likely mad as hell

But wherever you are

I hope the high road leads you home again

To a world you want to live in

We'll ride the ship down

Dumping buckets overboard

There can't be more of them than us

There can't be more

I know you're tired

And you ain't sleeping well

Uninspired

And likely mad as hell

But wherever you are

I hope the high road leads you home again

To a world you want to live in

To a world you want to live in
