Speed Trap Town
Jason Isbell Song Lyrics

Artist: Jason Isbell
Album: Something More Than Free (2015)

She said, 'It's none of my business but it breaks my heart'
Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart
Made it out to the truck without breaking down
Everybody knows you in a speed trap town.

Well it's a thursday night but there's a high school game
Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and forget my name
These 5a bastards run a shallow cross
It's a boy's last dream and a man's first loss.

And it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight
And there's no one left to ask if I'm alright
I'll sleep until I'm straight enough to drive, then decide
If there's anything that can't be left behind.

The doctor said daddy wouldn't make it a year
But the holidays are over and he's still here
How long can they keep you in the icu?
Veins through the skin like a faded tattoo.

Was a tough state trooper 'til a decade back
When that girl who wasn't mama caused his heart attack
He didn't care about us when he was walking around
Just pulling women over in a speed trap town.

But it never did occur to me to leave 'til tonight
When I realized he'll never be alright
Sign my name and say my last goodbye, then decide
That there's nothing here that can't be left behind.

The road got blurry when the sun came up
So I slept a couple hours in the pickup truck
Drank a cup of coffee by an indian mound
A thousand miles away from that speed trap town
A thousand miles away from that speed trap town.
