We've Met
Jason Isbell Song Lyrics

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...
