Jason Isbell & 400 Unit We've Met lyrics

We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it in your face, should've never left this place
We've met before you were a Christian
Before your eyes were blue, did all that get you through?

Do you know long I've waited?
Do you know how long I'll wait 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 couldn't stay with you

And the drunks all think we've made it
And the girls all twist and shake it like they do
My playground fears have faded
Replaced with grownup nightmares that come true


We've met, this city was the country
That mountain was the sea, did I 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

We thought we'd find the answers
In the troubadours and 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 in your face, should've never left this place
