Lyrics Jason Isbell

Jason Isbell

The Last Song I Will Write

Come run away with me

This ain't the world we signed up for

Echoes cross the open sea

In a place without any range war

And this is the last song I will write

This is the last time I will ever fight

For you

For you

Mama lost her second love

At a time when she really needs him

He could not have been enough

So small but still bumping the ceiling

And this is the last dream I will have

My lady, my lord, my mom and dad

All floating away into spring

All floating away into spring

You work up on your feet

And then turn away from the sunshine

It's you who've seen my worst defeat

Crawling through crumbling coal mines

And these are the last words I will sing

'Cause this is the end of everything

I'm crawling away to the sea

I'm crawling away to the sea
